[texhax] multiplechoice in LaTeX

[Hubert Lam]

Also you can use the enumitem package to alter the "enumerate" environment so that you can type:

\begin{enumerate}[label={\alph*)}]
\item choice 1
\item choice 2
\item choice 3
\end{enumerate }

Rather than manually labelling the choices.

I want to define a macro :

\newcommand\answer[4]{.....}

If  the length of all arguments 1 to 4 is less than 0.25\textwidth, then I want to typeset that as

\begin{multicols}{4}

\begin{itemize}

\item[a)] #1

\item[b)] #2

\item[c)] #3

\item[d)] #4

\end{itemize}

\end{multicols}



if the length of one of the arguments from 1 to 4 is less than 0.5\textwidth but greater than 0.25\textwidth provided the length of no arguments from 1 to 4 is greater than 0.5\textwidth, then I want to typeset this as:



\begin{multicols}{2}

\begin{itemize}

\item[a)] #1

\item[b)] #2

\item[c)] #3

\item[d)] #4

\end{itemize}

\end{multicols}



and finally if the length of any arguments from 1 to 4 is bigger than \textwidth, then I just want to typeset this as:



\begin{itemize}

\item[a)] #1

\item[b)] #2

\item[c)] #3

\item[d)] #4

\end{itemize}

How could I do this?

Thanks





\begin{multicols}{1}

\begin{itemize}

\item[a)] #1

\item[b)] #2

\item[c)] #3

\item[d)] #4

\end{itemize}

\end{multicols}
