Text Formatting ⇒ Enumerate space

[coachbennett1981]

Good morning,

Is there a way to make the space between the answer choices to be less? Here is the code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\begin{document}
\paragraph{Example 1} Which of the following best expresses the following statement: ``A number is greater than or equal to 15?''
	\begin{enumerate}
 		\item[A.] $x < 15$
		\item[B.] $x = 15$
		\item[ C.] $x > 15$
		\item[D.] $x \geq 15$
		\item[E.] $x \leq 15$
	\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Also, is there a way that the text for question could align with the start of the problem and not go directly under the Example 1 part.

Thank you for your time

Nick

Put "\setlength{\itemsep}{-3pt}" after each \begin{itemize} or \begin{enumerate} you want to shorten. You can, of course, tweak the last argument (i. e. "-3pt").

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\paragraph{Example 1} Which of the following best expresses the following statement: ``A number is greater than or equal to 15?''
   \begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
      \item[A.] $x < 15$
      \item[B.] $x = 15$
      \item[C.] $x > 15$
      \item[D.] $x \geq 15$
      \item[E.] $x \leq 15$
   \end{enumerate}

\end{document}

will eliminate the separation between the items. You can also directly set itemsep=... in the brackets to get an intermediate value. See the enumitem documentation for more info.

That's perfect.. Thanks
