Sorry.
Managed to do it using Drag and Drop markers and making the area the same for each group of questions:
Why are you apologising? Classic "rubber ducking" Gideon -with the added bonus that you came back and posted your solution
Just confirm that it does work that way, Gideon. Your "rubber duck" was really helpful.

Is there a way to build this method of doing things exactly like that image above? With the two boxes and you drag the correct answers to the area?
I have installed the module, but these questions don't look like that by default.
Any help on this would be super.
A couple of alternative ways of doing this with the drag and drop word to sentence question type would be to do something like this (I like the fact that the draggable words can be embedded in all kinds of html including in this case a nested unordered list) :
Where you have items :
You could put items 1 and 3 in group 1 and 2 and 4 in group 2. Then the student could only drag item 1 or 3 to blanks 1 or 3 and the same with 2 and 4.
Or you could specify you want the answer in some order, for example alphabetical order.
@Jamie,
Yes, this does work. However, it will only work if the items are "in pairs", i.e. if we have the same number of "dissolve" items and "non-dissolve" items.
Actually, why not simply use the match question type?
Joseph
PS.- To display items inside double square brackets, simply enclose your text within code:
The idea to use matching question seems quite interesting to me, and using drag and drop matching it looks even better:
By the way Joseph I don't think you deserve a "Correct" feedbak for answering that sand dissolves in water because I beleive it only dissolves in seewater and this is a very slow process .
Jean-Michel "By the way Joseph I don't think you deserve a "Correct" feedbak for answering that sand dissolves in water because I beleive it only dissolves in seewater and this is a very slow process."
Now you can tell I don't have a scientific mind.
And you're right, drag and drop matching seems to be the best solution. Let's wait and see what the OP has to say about it.

Now that we are on the topic of Drag-and-drop Matching, my favorite question type of all time... did you notice that ddmatch has a number of bugs when moved from 2.3 to 2.4?
Sorry, for posting this here, but I am hoping the ddmatch fans here have already fixed it, or can tell me the best place to report these bugs. Thanks!
P.S. I like the grouping question type! And I think it is different from ddmatch--visually, it is like brainstorming under categories. I would definitely use a grouping question in foreign language vocabulary exercises--great way to interact and think about relationships and hierarchies of words, not just definitions.
@Don,
I am not seeing any of the problems you mention, using latest version available from Jean-Michel's github repository at https://github.com/jmvedrine/moodle-qtype_ddmatch. Did you upgrade any time recently?
Joseph
Actually, you can add one or more extra "answers", in the Edit form, but then if you use them as a student, you get an error:
Notice: Undefined offset: 5 in moodle\question\type\ddmatch\question.php on line 64

@Jean-Michel, any idea?
Hello Joseph,
I just pushed a fix to the problem of images not displayed in distractors CONTRIB-4015 tracker issue.
I will look into this new problem.
Thanks a lot Joseph,
with your error message the problem was easy to fix (just 1 word change) so I have pushed a new fix to github that fix this problem too.
Hello Don,
there is a "Drag-and-drop matching" component in the tracker in the CONTRIB project so I think this is the place to post bugs
The problem is that as I am not the "official" maintainer of this addon, I am not automatically notified of new issues created.
Another problem is that I know nearly nothing about javascript so if the problem is in this area of the plugin, I need to find somebody more talented to fix it !
If I look at your 3 reported issues:
#1 is definitely javascript and/or CSS so I am unable to fix it myself
#2 is unclear to me, I was not able to reproduce it. Can you upload a screenshot ?
#3 is also not reproductible for me, I was able to create a ddmatch question with 2 items on the left and 3 on the right with no problem during attempt. But there is an issue with items on the right that don't have a matching item on the left (subanswer with an empty subquestion) because images are not displayed this is issue CONTRIB-4015 and this is in fact a problem in the check_file_access function in question/type/ddmatch/question.php. I will fix it ASAP.
