Explicit Response

Frequently, it is desirable to get responses, which are of a certain type or format. For instance, you might want a binary choice (yes or no), or to ask for the response to a true/false question, or to ask someone's gender (male/female). This kind of item asks for a specific response, such as 'Y' or 'N' or 'T' or 'F.'

General Form

    <explicit>    <text [question text]>    <valid a/b/c/d>    </explicit> 

The following are the components of the explicit response question:

The <explicit> is the keyword for the explicit response question.

The <text [text] > is for the text question. The question text is placed after the keyword in brackets.

<valid c1/c2/c3/c4> Place the valid choices separated by forward slashes.

</explicit> Closes the markup.

Example

    <explicit>    <text Are you older than 21?>    <valid Yes/No>    </explicit>
