A multiple-choice question is an objective test item. It is objective because the perceptions or opinions of another person do not influence the grade. In a multiple-choice question, a question is asked, three or more potential answers are presented, and only one of the potential answers is correct. The student answers the question either correctly or incorrectly. The entire multiple-choice question is called an item. Each item consists of two parts. The first part is known as the stem. The stem is the statement that asks the question. The second part contains the possible responses offered by the item, which are called options. One of the options answers the question posed in the stem and is the correct answer. The remaining options are the incorrect answers and are called distractors. They are referred to as “distractors” because they are designed to distract you from the correct answer. The correct answers and the rationales for all the options of the sample items in this chapter are at the end of the chapter. Test yourself and see whether you can correctly answer the sample items.
