Refer to the image:

MCQ Layout 1, 2 & 3 - Question without image doesn’t use space optimally

1. Question should centre align (vertically) & left align (horizontally)

2. Question should not reserve space for image unless provided by user

MCQ Layout 1 - Option creation & player experience

1. Justify the option text when there is no image added by the user

2. If image is added, make text left aligned

MCQ Layout 2 - Option creation & player experience

1. When user doesn’t provide image (if option contains only text), it should show options with white background

2. Should display overflowing text on scroll of the page. Preview should reflect most accurate WYSIWYG for a regular 16:9 or 18:9 screen aspect ratio

MCQ Layout 4 - Option creation & consumption experience

1. Should disable adding text as this only support image options

2. If user has already entered text and is trying out different layouts - on selecting this layout the text should be preserved (but hidden or disabled from editing)

Functional Design Challenges

1. Image is supported but user doesn’t provide..

2. Text length overflow in case of :

   1. English text (with styling & formatting),

   2. Indic language text (with styling & formatting),

   3. Math & Scientific text

3. Text length overflow when used with image
