[OS X TeX] Customized Inparaenum

[Alain Schremmer]

I am trying to create a multiple choice exam where each item looks like:

Given this and that, which of the following is your choice?
a. blah       b. blip        c. clonk        d. er             e. None 
of the preceding.

The following almost does it.

    Given that this and that, which of
    \begin{inparaenum}[\hspace{5mm}a.]
    \item
    blah
    \item
    blip
    \item
    clonk
    \item
    er
    \item
    None of the preceding.
    \end{inparaenum}

(1) What I would like is a. b. c. d. e. to be boldfaced
When I tried

    \begin{inparaenum}[\hspace{5mm}\textbf{a.}]

I got

    a. blah       a. blip        a. clonk        a. er             a.
    None of the preceding.

which I do not understand at all.

(2) I used \hspace{5mm} to separate the choices but I have no idea how 
to get rid of the 5mm ahead of the first choice to get

Given this and that, which of the following is your choice?
a. blah       b. blip        c. clonk        d. er             e. None 
of the preceding.

instead of

Given this and that, which of the following is your choice?
        a. blah       b. blip        c. clonk        d. er             
e. None of the preceding.

which is wasting space but, of course, what I am getting.

Hopeful regards
