I created a program to create a test bank using file I/O. The problem is my Professor told me "In your QuestionMC class, your function setQuestion() code section should be in the main() program. Function setQuestion() should take a string as an argument, setQuestion(string). The string is the option - the multiple choice answers string. Then, the function itself should push the string argument into your array - I used vector; easier to push the string. The program does not have to know which subscript to insert the string - it just inserts it." I do not know how to do this can someone explain to me?

My code below:
