So, my suggestion is, when a project asks you a question with this block:

ask [] and wait

maybe there could be another block that would ask a question that you select the answer to. Like on a survey.

It's actually possible with the currently available blocks in Scratch, but it would be pretty complicated, as I have tried.
If you are looking for several multiple choice questions in a project, it would be much harder.

Unless you mean you just want people to answer you when you use the block:

ask [blah blah blah] and wait

That would be much easier.
Just do:

ask [] and wait
repeat until <(answer) = [whatever you want]>
ask [the same question] and wait
end
if <(answer) = [whatever you want]> then
do whatever you want if the answer is right
else
do whatever you want if the answer is wrong
end

But if you mean that there are, say, three answers, and there are three sprites (one represents one answer) and one of them is correct while the others are incorrect, that would be the complicated version.

You could do it the easy way and put up a background with the question and the answers marked A-D and have them type in the letter.
That's what I do.

Great idea!

I agree with jluong20. A good idea for a lot of games. I also suggest a block about: instead of ONLY being allowed to use “ask _ and wait” Scratch could add a new one saying “say_and wait” so the player/Scratch member doesn't NEED to reply.

I'm making a interactive story game, so how would I have multiple answers to a situation? Scratch doesn't have a multiple answer type of question, and how would I then based on the player's answer go into a something else?

please don't necro, if you have a question post in the questions about scratch forum.

There's nothing wrong with necroing a suggestion provided it's on-topic, folks. That said, if you have a question about how to implement such a system yourself, it would be better to make a new topic in Help With Scripts.

Support, incase there are a lot of choices.

no support,

I think this is an interesting suggestion, as the current way to do this is quite a hassle (you have to say the answers, and then reset the script if the answer was invalid) and a multiple choice way will fix this.

You could expand this block with answers, like you can do in snap.

The reply should be in

(answer)

so you can do

when gf clicked
ask [Do you like cheese?] [Yes] [A little] [No] - +::sensing
if <(answer) = [Yes]> then
switch costume to [cheese v]
else
if <(answer) = [A little]> then
switch costume to [half cheese v]
end
end
