Picture Choice (Single-Select)
What are Picture Choice (Single Select) questions?
These are multiple-choice questions, where respondents can only select one answer. This question type was created for those questions where the answer options could be more visual, i.e. images instead of text. However, you are able to caption each image.
To reduce the amount of clipping that occurs when uploading an image for this question type, we suggest an image ratio of roughly 131 : 95.
