Adding additional option under node publish options
I think you can do it without adding the 5th option, if you familiar to Views module, and Taxonomy module, you can simply add vocabulary(in Taxonomy configuration) and add Term - for example Active, next you can add field to your Content Type(Article or whatever) and now if you want to post an article you can chose - Active term.
Next step, create new view, add whatever you want(body, title, etc) and in Views/Contextual filters add new filter -> has Taxonomy term ID input the Active id, and now you are done.
