This seems like such an easy item but I just cannot figure out the right way to do this. I want to have an MCQ with text asking a question and display an image below the question. The question being asked is of course related to the picture I want to display. Then have the answer options available below. I don’t want the Graphic Multiple Choice as that has a picture for each answer. I need them to read the question, review the image, then answer the question. I have found that I can copy and paste an image into the text field and the image does display. However, at some point in time, that image disappears and leaves a broken link object on the MCQ. When I return to my questions in Evolve, the images are “broken”. If I publish, again the images will be there for a time, then at some point they are broken in the published version too. This seems like such a basic thing that it should be easy to do. But I cannot seem to sort it out. Oh and this occurs on other question type objects as well, not just the MCQ. Brett ---

Hey Brett! Two ways: 1. Use a graphic image in the block above the question, or, if that doesn’t display as you like, 2. Use the Branching component and set it up as a question in there. ---

Have you tried this setting? ![screenshot of the enable question graphic setting](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/2X/4/4ba720025c3f462c0adfdd7583518faee7e3c931.png) ---

Hi Brett, There is a function within the MCQ component to achieve what you are after. ![Screenshot 2024-01-09 at 14.29.56](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/2X/d/d052b3cbb652399de92bdc2fe811756c6545ffc3.png) If you enable to Question Graphic, you can upload a graphic to appear in between the question text and instruction text, so it would look something like this: ![Screenshot 2024-01-09 at 14.31.08](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/2X/6/6d590fc8897581ad9bddb00582b73776b2ca8e41.png) Hope I’ve understood what you were wanting and that this helps 🙂 James ---

Thanks to everyone that replied with the suggestion. I didn’t mention this because I didn’t think it would matter, but unfortunately, I am using the Question Banks extension and that “Graphic” option doesn’t exist there. Looks like all the effort I put into learning and setting up that extension was all for nothing. I’ll have to rebuild my assessment without the Question Banks. Shame they give us a neutered version of the MCQ. But at the very least, I have a way forward and can stop banging my head against the wall. ---

> [@b.allen](#): > > I’ll have to rebuild my assessment without the Question Banks. @b.allen it might be worth holding off on that for the moment… I think it’s just an oversight that this functionality isn’t available when creating MCQs in a Question Bank. I’ve had a quick look at the setup and I _think_ it might be a relatively easy thing to add in… ---

This functionality has been added and will be in the next Evolve release. ---

Thanks to the Evolve team for adding this capability. I see it is now live. Now, it would be nice to have a graphic capability for other “question” type objects (i.e., ordering, drag-and-drop, matching). As it is now, I add a Graphic object where I include the question text and then below that a new block with the question type object that doesn’t include graphics as an option. I’ve figured it out so it isn’t a problem for me. But it might help others sort it out. I like having the option to include a graphic in questions. I don’t use it on every question, but I do use it on most. Thanks again! Brett
