    So there are a total of five questions to answer and four choices each question. The following scenario is just an example:

    1st question = 4 choices (picks A)

    2nd question = 3 choices (picks B, cannot pick A)

    3rd question = 2 choices (picks C, cannot pick A, cannot pick B)

    4th question = 2 choices (picks D, cannot pick B, cannot pick C)

    5th question = 2 choices (picks A, cannot pick C, cannot pick D)

    So the total combinations:

    C = 4 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 96 combinations
