How do you prevent students from doing a Right-Mouse click inside a Google Form?

I'm not sure there is a way to accomplish this.

What is it that you are trying to achieve by preventing this?

Students are taking a vocab test and right-clicking on the words to get the definition to appear (locking the Chromebooks doesn't solve this issue).

So if this forms/quiz is done in secure mode, then right clicking on anything does not work from what I see.

OK, technically you can right click, but all the options are greyed out...

They get a message that says "Right-click or press & hold to get definitions, translations, or unit conversations." They click "Try it" and then Bam - the definition is there. Why would Google allow us to make quizzes and then give the students that capability? LOL

Not on my end! Let me know if there is an Admin setting I need to do.

That looks like you have a chrome extension doing that:

When I am in quiz mode, all of my options are greyed out and I do not have the "Define" option. Maybe that extension could add the Google Forms to the blocklist and not work on those URL's. Hard to say.

I found out it's called "Quick Answers" https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/13616580?hl=en

I need to find out how to turn that off. The student's initial screen looks like this:

Are you testing this on a Chromebook using a Google Form?

I created a Google form and sent it to my coworker as a secure Quiz in the lockdown mode (on a ChromeBox).

My coworker was unable to click any options in the right click menu. But I did not see the define option he had shown in his screenshot. It's possible that this was disabled previously though I cannot recall seeing it before.

So we all have it? It's not just my set up?

Should be able to turn that off for the student OU here:
https://admin.google.com/ac/chrome/settings/user/details/quick_answers_enabled_category_item

or: Devices > Chrome > Settings > Users and browsers > User experience > Quick Answers

There are 3 extra options, perhaps translation is fine but just definition isn't, you can turn of parts of Quick Answers as well
