What it does
Why it's used

Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on addMultipleChoiceItem. Write FormApp.addMultipleChoiceItem(), not FormApp.addMultipleChoiceItem or addMultipleChoiceItem by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like FormApp.addMultipleChoiceItem().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write FormApp.addMultipleChoiceItem(), not FormApp .addMultipleChoiceItem(), FormApp.addMultipleChoiceItem (), or FormApp . addMultipleChoiceItem().
- Wrong capitalization. Use FormApp and addMultipleChoiceItem, not formapp or addmultiplechoiceitem.
