A quick reminder about multiple choice questions....
Radio button fields are meant to be used with multiple choice variables. And, in A2J Author, multiple choice means that you can provide the end user with multiple options, but that they can only select one of the options.
If you want to provide the end user with multiple options and the ability to select multiple choices, then you must use checkboxes which are defaulted to a true false variable setting. Thus, each checkbox is a true/false variable, where when selected the variable's value will be true and when unselected the variable's value will be false.
Please see the A2J Authoring Guide chapter on Variables (subheadings regarding multiple choice and true false variables) and the Creating Questions chapter (subheadings regarding checkbox and radio button fields).
