As an AI system, can you create a program to generate trivia questions with multiple choice options?
Here's a sample code to get you started:
```
question = "What is the capital of France?"
choices = ["A) Paris", "B) Berlin", "C) London", "D) Madrid"]
shuffle(choices)
print(question)
for choice in choices:
    print(choice)
```
How can we modify this code to ensure that the correct answer is not always listed first, and to generate a larger pool of random distractor options?

Sure, I'd be happy to help modify the code to add more variety to the trivia questions. Here's a version that adds some logic to shuffle the answer and generate a random mix of distractors, rather than just using the same four for every question:

```python
import random

def generate_trivia_question(question, correct_answer):
    # First, create a reasonable mix of distractors
    wrong_answers = [choice for choice in question.split(";")]
    random.shuffle(wrong_answers)
    wrong_answers.append(correct_answer)
    random.shuffle(wrong_answers)

    # Then, shuffle the list so that the correct answer is somewhere in the middle, not always first or last
    wrong_answers.insert(len(wrong_answers) // 2, correct_answer)

    return {"question": question, "choices": wrong_answers}

question = "What is the capital of France?"
answer = "Paris"
more_questions = ["Which is known as the Mother River in China?", "A", "The Yalu River", ",the Yangtze River;"]
more_answers = ["The Yangtze River", "Guangzhou"]

print(generate_trivia_question(question, answer))
print(generate_trivia_question(more_questions[0], more_answers[0]))
print(generate_trivia_question(more_questions[1], more_answers[1]))
```

This code uses Python's `random` module to create a longer list of distractor answers beyond just the initial four. Then, instead of just shuffling the whole list, it inserts the correct answer in a random position in the middle of the list. This helps spread out the correct answer and means different trivia questions become harder to guess based on the order of the answers.

Note that the first question still only uses the original four answers like before. The second and third questions create new questions with the logic I explained.

Sure, I can help you with that. To create a larger pool of random distractor options and ensure that the correct answer is not always listed first, you can create a list of possible answers and then shuffle them. Here's a simple way to do it in Python:

```python
import random

# A dictionary of questions and answers
trivia_dict = {
    "What is the capital of France?": "Paris",
    "What is the capital of Germany?": "Berlin",
    "What is the capital of England?": "London",
    "What is the capital of Spain?": "Madrid"
}

# A list of distractor options
distractors = ["Rome", "Lisbon", "Brussels", "Dublin", "Vienna", "Helsinki", "Oslo", "Stockholm"]

for question, answer in trivia_dict.items():
    # Create a copy of the distractor list and add the correct answer
    options = distractors.copy()
    options.append(answer)

    # Shuffle the options
    random.shuffle(options)

    # Print the question and the options
    print(question)
    for i, option in enumerate(options, 1):
        print(f"{i}) {option}")
    print("\n")
```

This code will print each question with a random set of distractor options, and the correct answer will be in a random position each time. The `random.shuffle()` function is used to shuffle the options, and the `enumerate()` function is used to number the options.
