Which heading is correct ?
 
Hi  my  dear  teachers .
Few  days  later , I  have  been  working  on  a  fifth  grade  examination .
I �d  like  to  make  sure  which  heading  is  correct :
"Choose  the  right  answer  from  a , b , c  or  d


" Choose  the  right  answer  from  a  ,  b  ,  c  and  d

Lynne and I don �t disagree very often, but I would say "and" here, because we are choosing from a set, which consists of a, b, c and d. I wouldn �t object too strongly to "or", though.

Like Lynne, my first response is "or", but after Bruce �s post I realize that both are actually acceptable (but "and" may be more technically correct as Bruce has already explained).
 
Cheers,
Douglas

I think I would have said "or" too, but Bruce �s answer is also correct.
Another possibility, which I have often seen, could be:  
Choose the correct answer between a, b, c, and d.

Yes Bruce, technically-

Choose the right answer: a, b, c or d.
Choose the right answer from a, b, c and d.

Ahem!
