Multiple Choice questions

[Darien]

Except when the three choices include two possible answers, why are the other two choices so completely inappropriate? No-one with even the most rudimentary knowledge of German would pick them, surely?

[Moo]

Yes. Usually it's far too easy to tell which are wrong. If they just varied something subtle like gender or tense, or even just spelling, instead of giving completely different meanings, it might actually require some thought to answer.

Absolutely. I'm as far as the Dative Pronoun section and when the question is something like "The child plays with her bread" I'm not exactly stretched or learning when only one answer contains "Brot"
