Quiz title: Unit 4 Mid-Chapter Check - Replace Title
Quiz description: This quiz draws random questions from each taxonomy level. Replace the description.

COMMENT
This template shows how to use GROUP blocks for stratified random draw.

When a student takes this quiz, Canvas will randomly select:
  - 3 questions from the Recall pool of 5 (worth 1 point each)
  - 2 questions from the Application pool of 3 (worth 2 points each)
  - 1 question from the Analysis pool of 2 (worth 3 points)
That's a 6-question quiz worth 10 points total.

The pick numbers below are deliberately smaller than each pool so this file
converts cleanly as-is. As you add your own questions to a pool, raise that
group's "pick:" to suit. Just keep it below the pool size, or every student
sees the same questions and nothing is randomized.

GROUP rules:
- GROUP and END_GROUP must be ALL CAPS, on their own lines, at column 1.
- "pick:" sets how many questions each student sees from the pool.
- "points per question:" sets the value of each question in the group.
- Every question inside one group must be worth the same point value.
- You can mix GROUP blocks and standalone questions in the same file.
