Items API Initialization

Specifies the Multiple choice Question subtype to exclude from distractor reduction.

You would want to use this so that you can prevent distractor reduction from being applied to certain Question formats that are not appropriate for simplification (e.g., multi-select).

Examples

// Enabling custom question modifications
var initializationOptions = {
    "config": {
        "question_modifications": {
            "mcq": {
                "distractor_reduction": {
                    "exclude": "multi-select"
                }
            }
        }
    }
};
