protected

Gereate an automatic description of the correct response to this question.

Not all question types can do this. If it is not possible, this method should just return an empty string.

Parameters

question_attempt $qa the question attempt to display.

Parameters

question_attempt	$qa	the question attempt to display.
question_display_options	$options	controls what should and should not be displayed.
