Answer 1

One possible solution can be

class Survey{
  void renderSurvey(Question q) {
  /*
      Depending on the type of question (choice, dropdwn or other, I have to render
      the question on the UI. The class that calls this doesnt have compile time 
      knowledge of the type of question that is going to be rendered. Each question 
      type has its own rendering function. If this is for choice , I need to access 
      its functions using q. 
  */
  if(q.getOption() instanceof ChoiceQuestionOption)
  {
    ChoiceQuestionOption choiceQuestion = (ChoiceQuestionOption)q.getOption();
    boolean result = choiceQuestion.getMultiple();
    //do something with result......
  }
 }
}
