If your quiz is not divided in sections, and you do not set this parameter, the items will appear in random order by default in the published quiz.

Do not calculate: Response time will not appear in the results table;
Calculate: Response time column will appear in the results table; Response time is calculated from the instant the item is displayed until the respondent clicks on Submit. Response time is always based on the respondent's last attempt at the item, if the respondent submits the item more than once. A dash before an item (question) indicates that it has not yet been submitted for correction.
Display correct answer: Choose whether or not to show the correct answer to the respondent. It might be pedagogically desirable to show the respondent the correct answer before submitting an actual answer.
Based on the parameter of each item: each item contains the parameter Display correct answer. Display correct answer is the default option. So if you choose the option Based on the parameter of each item in the parameters of the quiz, the Solution button will appear or not, depending on the parameter setting in the published quiz.
