[LON-CAPA-users] Another option question--OOPS

[Robley Light]

OOPS--hit the send button too soon by mistake.  Following is rest of
question.

In the various option questions, one generates "foils", and can then
randomly select among the foils for the ones to be presented in a problem.

Is there a way to set up a string response question to consist of some
number of string response questions and answers in a similar fashion, so
that a smaller number of questions can randomly be chosen from the longer
list?

For example:

Q. Who was the first US president?  A.George Washington
Q. Who was the second US president?  A.John Adams
Q. Who was the third US president?  A.Thomas Jefferson
Q. Who was the fourth US president?  A.James Madison
Q. Who was the fifth US president?  A.James Monroe
Q. Who was the sixth US president?  A.John Adams
Q. Who was the seventh US president?  A.Andrew Jackson
etc
Etc

With the problem pulling randomly from the list?  

I realize one could set up the questions (or  "first", "second", "third",
etc) in one array and the answer in another array and use scripting to do
it, but I was wondering if the "foil" tags could be used somehow to
accomplish something like this.
