This multiple-choice quiz contains 30 questions. However, each time you open it, it will randomly select 10 questions from the list of 30, and will shuffle the multiple-choice answers.

Interactive multiple-choice revision exercise. The file will display a different selection of 35 words each time it is opened and will also shuffle the multi-choice answers each time it is opened. So, it can be used repeatedly without being quite the same each time you use it. If you have computer room available, each pupil can, in effect, be doing a different exercise.
