Create "Likert type Single Choice" Question

Publishers, school/district admins and teachers can create different types of questions on the platform. In a "Single Choice" type question, there is only a single correct answer and the rest of the options are distractors. These questions are added on the “Questions” page and can be used while creating a standard test. 

The Likert type is an add-on attribute in the single-choice question type. Here the question author can select the option “Enable Likert” under the question settings of single-choice questions. After selecting the Likert enabled check box the author will be able to create a Likert scale and add options to the Likert scale.
