I am giving my students 5 multiple choice answers and would like their answers to be carried over to the last screen. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, there’s not a simple source for their choice. You have to make a when-otherwise.

```auto
choice= when mcName.isSelected(1) 1
        when mcName.isSelected(2) 2
        when mcName.isSelected(3) 3
        when mcName.isSelected(4) 4
        when mcName.isSelected(5) 5
        otherwise 0 #in case they don't choose

```
