I am creating an assignment for students that would contain some several chapters with theory, exercise and solution. I want to create multiple choice questions using exercise package of latex. I believe this package does not directly support MCQs. I have come across a few pieces of the code that I have combined.
My aim is to create MCQs with one or more than one correct answers such that all answers along with explanations and analysis should appear at the end of the chapter.
If someone suggest other packages/methods, it would be fine too.
\documentclass[a4paper]{amsbook}
