# Quiz description elements

The description question type allows you to show some text (and optionally graphics) without requiring an answer. It behaves as a [label](/totara-20/docs/add-course-content-as-a-label) rather than a question type and may act as an introduction to a new section or may contain a resource (such as a video) that will be the basis for further questions.

Please see [Examples of quiz question types](/totara-20/docs/examples-of-quiz-question-types) for examples of how these questions can be used and how they display within a quiz.
