Problem tagging data	Problem tagging:
DOCUMENT(); loadMacros( "PGstandard.pl", "MathObjects.pl", "parserPopUp.pl", ); TEXT(beginproblem());	Initialization: We need parserPopUp.pl
Context("Numeric"); $popup = PopUp( ["?","Red","Blue","Green"], "Blue", );	Setup: To create a radio object, use $popup = PopUp([choices,...],correct); For details, see parserPopUp.pl.html The context is not really necessary, but multiple choice questions are often follow-up questions, so we leave it in.
Context()->texStrings; BEGIN_TEXT My favorite color is \{ $popup->menu() \} END_TEXT Context()->normalStrings;	Main Text:
install_problem_grader(~~&std_problem_grader); $showPartialCorrectAnswers = 0; ANS( $popup->cmp() );	Answer Evaluation: We withhold feedback by choosing not to show partially correct answers.

Context()->texStrings; BEGIN_SOLUTION ${PAR}SOLUTION:$PAR The correct answer is \{ $popup->correct_ans() \} END_SOLUTION Context()->normalStrings; COMMENT('MathObject version.'); ENDDOCUMENT();	Solution:
