It sounds like you might be making a quiz. If so, you can Google _quiz Thunkable_ for ideas on how to get started. If you get stuck, post a screenshot of your blocks and someone may be able to help you.

My question is more about List- Can you please help on that line?.  
**How to create sub-list of unique values from master list**

This is the easiest way to get a random sublist of a list:

Note that there is a bug that prevents this from working if you use a variable with the [shuffle] block. I just reported it [here](https://community.thunkable.com/t/shuffling-a-list-variable-crashes-the-browser-preview/2517029).
