To make a multipart question, declare a question of type Multipart and include other questions in its body.
Notes
Multipart questions can be nested inside other Multipart questions. The conversion tool accepts only four levels of nesting
\begin{question}{multipart}
...
\begin{question}{multipart}
...
\begin{question}{multipart}
...
\begin{question}{multipart}
...
\begin{question}{multipart}
...
\end{question}
\end{question}
\end{question}
\end{question}
\end{question}
Multipart questions can contain any question types as parts.
The parts of a question are numbered using lower-case
letters regardless of nesting level. To use different labels, use the
\numbering macro. Its argument must be one
of:
alpha
- "(a), (b), (c), (d), ..." (the default
setting)
Alpha
- "(A), (B), (C), (D), ..."
roman
- "(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), ..."
Roman
- "(I), (II), (III), (IV), ..."
arabic
- "(1), (2), (3), (4), ..."
none
- no numbering
By default, each part receives equal weighting when the question is graded. To specify a non-uniform weighting, use the \weighting macro prior to the \begin{question} for the first part. The \weighting macro requires one argument, a comma-delimited list of non-negative integers, specifying the relative values assigned to each part.
\begin{question}{Multipart}
\weighting{1,2} % The value of part (b) is twice that of part (a).
\qutext{Answer the following questions:}
% part (a)
\begin{question}{Formula}
\qutext{Differentiate the function
$\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x^2}$.}
\answer{(1 - x^2)/(1 + x^2)^2}
\end{question}
% part (b)
\begin{question}{Multipart}
% The 2/3 of the points assigned to part (b) are split evenly between
% its subparts because \weighting is not used.
\numbering{roman} % These are subparts (i) and (ii)
% part (i)
\begin{question}{Ntuple}
\qutext{Find the absolute minimum point on the graph of the
function $\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x^2}$.}
\answer{(-1,-1/2)}
\end{question}
% part (ii)
\begin{question}{Ntuple}
\qutext{Find the absolute maximum point on the graph of the
function $\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x^2}$.}
\answer{(1,1/2)}
\end{question}
\end{question}
