Ask to choose from list block

Instead of asking the user to type in their input, similar to:
ask [] and wait

The user can be prompted to choose from a list, similar to:
ask [] and choose from (list :: list)

This is very good because instead of making difficult and laggy drop down menus or making the user type in their choice (which is poor ux, very error-prone, and high friction) it can be done with one, *singular* block

Yes that is all thank you for listening to my presentation

Ask to choose from list block

What would the purpose of this block be for?
I assume quiz games,
Semi-support because this might be minimally used

Maybe cloud chats (not referring to the ones where you're allowed to type anything because those aren't allowed, but I mean cloud chats with pre-select phrases and emojis)
Also, games where u can click a set number of options or dropdown options

Support, this could clear up confusion for things like quizzes on what you can pick.

Support, that would make questions with a lot of possible answers a lot easier to code without being too confusing

i think, in a way, this already existed with the “Story” extension (found here) scratch had been developing, so i'd like to see it added with an actual list rather than a static 4 items.
