Show random attribute from list

[Spencer S]

Shin-Yi: That sounds like it would work, though I have not tried it. I
was able to get help from someone else in the lab here, and here is
what I wound up doing, which is pretty simple to implement:

List1:

Weight		Nested			StimA		StimB		CorrectAnswer
10			HomophoneList		[Main]		[Word2]		1
10			HomophoneList		[Main]		[Word3]		2

And then HomophoneList contains all of the word triplets in three
columns (Main/Word2/Word3). So for 20 word pairs, this would show 10
as Main/Word2 and 10 with Main/Word3, and also allow you to set a
Correct Answer if you are collecting responses.

Thanks for all the answers!.
