title: Creating a multiple choice question in LaTeX
body: <p>I am trying to make a multiple choice question in LaTeX. I am a little confused as to whether</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><code>\begin{question}{MultipleChoice</code>}</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>is something that LaTeX can handle by default or do I need extra packages, descriptions, ect...(I am super new to LaTex). </p>
  
  <p>That being said, if I run the following code I do not get a multiple choice question, but rather an error that says  'lonely \item -  perhaps missing a list environment. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your time and patience!</p>
