Slide view, Review, and Preview show different versions of same slide!
You sir, are a true scholar... I completely forgot about that little SL idiosyncracy! Rollover on the slide didn't show it, but clicking through the States did.
The default state for A was Selected. After changing the text in all States to match it, it now works.
Yessss...From a long time back, I recall this quirk. I've done exactly what you said before, gone to every quiz slide, checked states, and you always seem to find a few mismatches.
Here's my explanation of this unhelpfully subtle behavior (I know it's by design), see if you agree:
When making changes to answers, if the Initial State is anything other than Normal, the text changes will not propagate. Since the correct answer (if selected as correct in Form view or Slide view shows it) defaults to Selected as its initial state, if you edit that particular answer without editing the other States, there will be a mismatch.
Testing that theory just now, it holds true for a multiple choice question. Presumably true for multiple selection, I would think.
I can understand why changes wouldn't ripple 'up' from Selected to Normal, otherwise you couldn't have distinct, separate States.
Something else to remember in 10 months or so, when I'm back in SL doing my very occasional edit.
