In a Single question, the respondent can select only one answer from a list of suggested answers. Examples of use could be asking for the respondent's gender or age group. In theory, the answer list can be of any size, however it is recommended to use a maximum of 200 answers in the list. In the event you require more than 200 answers then you should use Database Designer (go to About Database Designer for more information).
