I'd echo Alistair's comments: it's good to provide feedback for every option because you need to tell people why they were right (they might be right, but for the wrong reason, or because they guessed) and you need to tell people why they were wrong (obviously).

Just as a matter of interest (everyone can try this) take a multiple choice test you use. Complete it without actually reading any of the options, but select the longest answer for each question. If there is no longest answer, choose 'c'.

Do you pass?

Sure, sorry for being unclear. I guess the more options were added to the quiz, the bigger this blank are would be. The Orientation page has a similar "issue": If I didn't fill all the fields, their blank place appeares in the LO nonetheless.
