If you are creating screening questions, which means that respondents must answer a certain way to progress through the survey, then tick the check box next to the questions answer "Required to answer" they must select this answer to move forward. Please note: only use this option if the questions answer must be selected by a survey participant in order to move forward. If left unchecked the survey participants would simply progress through the survey as normal. This should be used only to immediately screen out participants! DO NOT select this option for all answers in a survey question. Doing this may play havoc with your survey logic and there is no need to select every answer in a question, this is the same as not selecting any answers at all.
