How to list 1 random word from 4 categories in choices for Multiple Choice Questions?


I have 4 lists of words of different categories. I would like them to appear randomly as choices in Multiple Choice Questions, such that for every question, there will be 1 random word from each list.

I would also want the randomly chosen word to differ across questions. How do I make them appear so?

For example:

Animals List 1
Cat
Dog
Hamster
Guinea Pig

Animals List 2
Zebra
Lion
Tiger
Giraffe

Plants List 1
Grass
Beanstalk
Tree
Leaves

Plants List 2
Sunflower
Rose
Orchid
Gardenia

(These are made up lists).

e.g. Question: (Picture of a Cat) "Name this living thing."

Choice 1: Cat
Choice 2: Random word from "Animals List 2"
Choice 3: Random word from "Plants List 1"
Choice 4: Random word from "Plants List 2"

(Different choices to appear for every question)

-------

I understand that I can use randomizer and piped text and embedded data for the choices, but how do I arrange it such that it will appear as mentioned?

I think it might be similar to this, but I am not sure: https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/1798/how-to-use-randomizer-of-survey-flow-as-piped-text

Would appreciate the help!

Thank you for your answer. I'm not too sure I get it. Do you mean in survey flow, or the randomisation option in the choices? Can you explain further?
