4. In the dialog box, enter up to 8 rows and set the columns to 2. You can also adjust the other options for Layout, Borders, and Headers/Labels.

   

5. Click OK at the bottom of the dialog box.

6. In the newly created table, fill in the left column with the descriptions to match the answer choices to. Fill in the right column with the choices that will make up the answers.

   

7. Right-click the table and select Table Properties from the pop-up menu. In the Interactive tab, select Dot Connect from the menu.
