Hello. I’m trying to auto-generate a quadratic word problem based on fields that students complete, much like a mad lib. I know how to pull in text from math and text inputs, but I don’t know how to do it from a multiple choice question. Can someone show me how to insert the units into my auto-generated word problem from the multiple choice field.
