In Mastery Connect, you can create a choice matrix item. A choice matrix is a multiple choice type question, in which several related question stems have the same choices (e.g., true or false).
You can create any item type through the Item Editor. You can also add passages to items, add item-level tools, and save the item. To open and use the Item Editor to add passages, add item-level tools, and save the item, learn more about:
