In general UEB recommends not changing the text. The Braille Authority of
North America's guidelines are to leave the text as is in this situation.
If there are no examples (where something has been circled or marked) just
braille the text and nothing extra is needed. If there is an example, you
can write a transcriber's note like "In the following example, answer C has
been circled," or you can use a transcriber-defined typeform ("Word enclosed
in an oval"). The first is probably simpler unless the circling or other
mark appears frequently.

Importance: High
Dear All,
I am afraid I was unable to make things clear.
Suppose in a test paper, if there are questions such as circle the correct
answer or tick the correct statement or cross out the false statement. I
have seen some Braille transcribers using choose the correct answer or
rewrite the correct answer or rewrite the false statement. In doing so, I
feel we are altering/tampering the questions.
I was just thinking, why can't we use the shape symbol "ED" sign, Braille
dots 1, 2, 4, 6 and Braille Letter C for circling in front of the statement.
Or, will this be a diversion?
Or, is there a standard rule for questions as such in Braille to be
transcribed?
I hope I have made clear.

Kuenga,
Personally I would suggest labelling the options (perhaps A, B, C.... or
numbering them), providing them in list form, then changing the question
accordingly:
'Choose the correct answer from the four options given labelled A to D'.
