Freecodecamp: Issue with answers on How Neural Networks Work - How Deep Neural Networks Work

Describe your problem and how to reproduce it:
On this Python curriculum challenge, the correct answer is already selected. Just so we're having the learner do something, I guess either rearranging the options or at the very least not having the correct option already selected should be made.

If possible, add a screenshot here (you can drag and drop, png, jpg, gif, etc. in this box):

I assume this applies to all of the Video Challenges with a solution of 1?

It should be that case, even though I haven't personally verified it

Could we avoid the problem by leaving the radio buttons unselected at the start? It's slightly weird UX, since people expect radio buttons to always have one selected, but it should not be too confusing in the context of a multiple choice question.

It is a valid workaround

That works. Unselected radio buttons seems to be a convention for multiple choice questions.
Additionally, we could display the multiple choice questions as a button group and avoid having the users select the multiple choice question and click on the Check Your Answer.

Just to check, do you mean: remove Check Your Answer and have the modal pop up as soon as the user clicks on the correct answer?

Also, since we're discussing UX, keyboard navigation is a bit tricky. There's no visible indicator when you have the answers selected.

Yes, what do you think?

Sounds good. The only concern I have is that we don't want to encourage people to just guess. However, forcing them click back and forth between the radio buttons and 'Check your answer' probably does not solve that and it's definitely irritating.

For now, let us unselect radio buttons and we take it from there.

@ojeytonwilliams w.r.t https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/issues/39048#issuecomment-647338171 , should we leave this issue open?

@thecodingaviator since it's already been moved to 'done' on the project board, I'll create a new feature request to track the remaining points.
