How to increase the number of options with single choice questions created with ```num_to_schoice```

Question

I know that the function num_to_schoice creates a question list of five elements, but is there some simple workaround to create, say, a question list of eight or ten elements and only one correct answer?

Answer 1

No, currently the five alternatives are hard-coded. The main reason is that the feature is most appealing for written exams that can be automatically scanned, i.e., exams2nops(). And this can have at most five answer alternatives, hence num_to_schoice() is compatible with that.
