Hello, KB_1231.

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

In Microsoft Forms, you can create a question with multiple sub-questions or answer options by using the "Likert" or "Choice" question types. Here’s how you can achieve a structure where multiple questions appear under one question, similar to a dropdown or grouped format:

**Method 1:**Using the Likert Question Type (Best for Grouped Questions)

1. Open Microsoft Forms and create or open your form, here is the entry: Microsoft Forms | Surveys, Polls, and Quizzes
2. Click Add New and select the "Likert" option (you might need to click the dropdown next to “Choice” to see this option).
3. This will allow you to add multiple statements (sub-questions) on the left and multiple answer options (like "Agree," "Neutral," "Disagree") across the top.
4. Customize the statements (questions) and answer options according to your needs.

Example:

• Statement 1: "What is the primary function of your role?"
• Statement 2: "Which software do you use most frequently?"
• Answer Options: "Managing Projects," "Sales," "Customer Support," etc.
• As shown here:

**Method 2:**Using the Choice Question Type (Best for Dropdown-like Questions)

If you want to have a dropdown-like question with multiple answers, you can also use the Choice question with multiple options:

1. Add New and select "Choice" as the question type.
2. Add the question text for your main question.
3. Select the option for "Drop-down" (you'll see it below the options).
4. Add the answer choices. If you need to allow multiple selections, please click the “Add New Question” option.

    5. If you need to simulate multiple questions, you can create multiple **Choice** questions under a common theme.
   

**Method 3:**Grouping Questions

Although Microsoft Forms doesn’t support true hierarchical dropdowns, you can create a Section to group multiple questions together:

1. Select Add New and then click the three-dot menu (...) and choose Section.
2. Give the section a title that represents your main question.
3. Add individual questions (such as Choice or Text question types) under this section to create a grouped question experience. Here is a test form, see:
