Make the workflow fit your task.
Choose the learning objective and question type, then write answers and plausible distractors grounded in the supplied material. Explain the correct answer and the misunderstanding behind each wrong option where useful.

Example input
Source: plants use light energy in photosynthesis. Create one multiple-choice question with three options and an explanation grounded in that sentence.

Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.
Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should a quiz use trick wording to increase difficulty?
Test the intended knowledge or reasoning. Ambiguous wording can measure interpretation of the question rather than understanding of the material.
Why does a distractor also seem correct?
Check the question's scope and qualifiers against the source. Revise it until one answer fits the stated conditions, or allow multiple correct answers explicitly.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
