Case sensitivity -> No, case is unimportant	In Case sensitivity dropdown, select No, case is unimportant.
Highlight is the same logarithmic spiral in the general feedback	The correct answer to this question is “same logarithmic spiral”
Text on screen: Correct answers- same spiral same logarithmic spiral	I am willing to give full marks to a student if whose answer is either: “same spiral” or “same logarithmic spiral”

Highlight the wild character.	Notice the asterix in Answer 1 text. Asterix can be used as a wildcard to match any character.
Text on screen: The evolute of a logarithmic spiral is the same logarithmic spiral. In blue colour FULL MARKS	So for eg: A student writes The evolute of a logarithmic spiral is the same logarithmic spiral. This answer will be awarded full marks.
Answer 3: same logarithmic spiral Grade: 100%	Fill in Answer 3 and its respective grade as shown.
	Notice there is no asterix before the answer text.
Text on screen: The evolute of a logarithmic spiral is not the same logarithmic spiral. In blue colour NO MARKS	So for eg: A student writes The evolute of a logarithmic spiral is not the same logarithmic spiral. This answer will be not be awarded any marks.

So here pitch is 10 mm and the point start upwards from the base of the cylinder, in ½ revolutions, the point will move up to a distance of 5mm from base.	Create the question as shown.
Highlight the general feedback	The answer to this question is 5mm.
	However, I am okay with the student answering anywhere between 4.5mm and 5.5mm. The error margin here is 0.5.
