Add a single choice question to a quiz
Use a single choice question to present a list of possible answers where only one is selectable. You can show as many possible answers as you like. Only one of the choices is correct. All others should be wrong, though incorrect but plausible answers are a valuable part of this question type.
To present several, perhaps similar answers with feedback and score weighting for each possible answer, use the detailed single choice question to present several, perhaps similar answers with feedback and score weighting for each possible answer. The participant can select only one choice..
