Awesome solution. Works great. Thanks very much Wolfgang. I can now use your
solution. If it is not too difficult to explain, I would appreciate if someone
could explain why the following does not work. It is not necessary because
Wolfgang's solution is great but will help me understand it better.

\def\AnsT
   {\doglobal\increment\choicecounter
     \startitem[\choicecounter]#1\stopitem}
\def\eAns{\stopitem}

With these commands if I use

\AnsT This is the CORRECT answer. \eAns
\startwrongitem Yet another wrong answer.   \stopwrongitem

I get the error "File ended while scanning use of \startitem"
