        print(f"Question {idx}: {q['question']}")
        for option in q["options"]:
            print(option)
        answer = input("Your answer: ").strip().upper()

        while answer not in ["A", "B", "C", "D"]:
            answer = input("Invalid input. Please enter A, B, C, or D: ").strip().upper()

        if answer == q["answer"]:
            print("Correct!n")
            score += 1
        else:
            print(f"Wrong! The correct answer was {q['answer']}.n")

    print(f"Game Over! You scored {score} out of {len(questions)}.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_trivia_game()

Run this script in any Python 3 environment. It will ask 5 multiple-choice questions, track your score, and display the result at the end. You can add more questions by appending to the questions list.
