Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

What is found at the center of every atom?
The nucleus
What force holds the atom together?
The attraction between the positive nucleus and negative electrons
