Formatting question stem, response set, and following “advice to the learner”?

[Donald Winiecki]

In activities following instructional materials the following appears in a set of activities:

 
<pre>15. Write about one of these events:
a) event 1
b) event 2
c) event 3
Consider questions such as
a) question 1
b) question 2
c) question 3</pre>
 

Following BF 10.4 3 question 15 and its three options would be formatted in 1-5, 3-5 paragraphs.

The line "Consider questions such as" and its three question items apply to the whole of question 15. How should they be formatted?

 

I have hunted through BF 2016 looking for advice on how to format this, or advice for handling it and have not found a conclusive answer. Your expertise is very much appreciated!

First, formats doesn't directly address this issue.  I would say "Consider questions..." is a new paragraph for the exercise question and should use margins of 7-5.  This follows along in the same manner as the issue seen in 10.3.2 (which applies to directions).

Thank you Cindi!

How would the subsequent list of "a) question 1; b) question 2; c) question 3" be formatted?

I would do:

15. ... 1-5

a) event 3-5

Consider ... 7-5

a) question 1 3-5
