Solutions follow string matching

[Dqrshan]

Solution

Implement a more robust functionality for validating answers to each question.

Hi @Dqrshan, I just need one clarification, the issue seems to be in \src\pages\api\submissions\index.ts, am I right?

Hi @qrshan, with the overwhelming workload at my college, I don’t think I’ll have time to fix this issue. Could you please deassign me? Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
