The Random select answers question type

This question type is similar to the core Multiple Choice question type with the "multiple answers are allowed" option ON, but it adopts the same grading system as the OU multiple response question type. Its main added feature is that correct and incorrect answers are selected from a "pool" of such answers and displayed to the student at runtime.

Because most of the question setup instructions are the same as or very similar to the instructions provided for the two question types mentioned above, the following instructions are only provided for its distinctive features.
