Creating a Google formStep 6: You can also add ‘section header’ or ‘page break’ to your form. I have chosen to add a ‘page break’ so that the different types of itemsare separated for clarity. This also prevents getting a very long form.

Creating a Google formStep 11: For this quiz, I have created a scoreboard for users to check theirscore. Some friendly competition is always welcomed. So a link is included to direct users to the scoreboard page. I have also chosen to publish the response summary to generate interest in the most popular vs the correct answers.
