The options have significance as follows.

vq

This allows you to view the questions before attempting to answer them. The pq command can then be used to obtain a printout of these questions.

ans

When you are happy you know the answers to the questions set, you can enter your solutions using the ans command. This will then ask you the questions one at a time and read your response. Answers may be a choice between a few options, a word or a short sentence. To quit the exercise before answering all the questions type q as your answer.

cks

This command allows you to check that your mark has been submitted correctly, and to check your answers.

Some question/answer exercises are purely for collecting answers, such as those to the end-of-course questionnaire. Other will involve answers which are marked. The questions should make clear which of these cases holds.
