OK, I was bored. So came up with this:
########################
import sys
AnswerList = "a-Biology\nb-Chemistry\nc-Math\nd-Physics\ne-Business
Studies\nf-Computer Science\ng-Art".split('\n')
def question(query,options):
print(query + "\n" + "\n".join(options))
answer = input("Enter your answer's letter or X to exit: ").lower()
tries = 0
while tries < 2:
tries += 1
if answer in [a[0] for a in options] :
return answer
elif answer == 'x':
print("Goodbye...")
sys.exit(0)
else:
print("\nThe answer", answer, "is invalid, you have %d more
tries.\nIf you wish to exit the program enter X" % (3-tries))
answer=input("Enter your answer: ")
else:
print("The answer", answer, "is still invalid.\nThe program is
being terminated as you have reached your maximum number of tries")
sys.exit(0)
choice = question("Q1) Which of the following subjects do you find most
interesting:", AnswerList)
print("\n\nThe answer was:", choice)
###################
But that doesn't explain what you were really asking about
passing parameters to AnswerCollection()
