Dear gang,

Consider the following MWE (for a sequential multiple-choice exam), using some old and ugly TeX code:

======= \setupbodyfont[schola] \noheaderandfooterlines \setupwhitespace[big]

\def\CHOICE#1#2{\leavevmode\vbox{\tabskip=0pt\everycr={}                 \halign{\strut\hfil##\hfil\cr#1\cr#2\cr}}}

\starttext (Religion * Biology * Cosmology * Physics) is part of the subject matter of World Philosophies.

(Religion * Biology * Cosmology * Physics) is part of the subject matter of World Philosophies.

(\CHOICE{1}{Religion}\ * \CHOICE{X}{Biology} * \CHOICE{2}{Cosmology}\ * \CHOICE{X}{Physics}) is part of the subject matter of World Philosophies. \stoptext =======

Result is attached. Question:

What is the most elegant ConTeXt way to get the same result as the above code, with equal or better control? Thank you in advance. you can use some old, probaly never really used, mechanism ...
