Then all must be selected to get "the right answer", right?  And if you 
missed one, then you didn't get the right answer, did you?  I'm 
surprised partial credit would be given for such questions, as the whole 
point was to understand that multiple choices were correct

In any event, there are several standards ways to handle that:

First:

   Some question

   I. Some statement
   II. Some other statement

   A) I only
   B) II only
   C) Both I and II
   D) Neither I nor II

Alternately:

   Some question

   A) Some statement
   B) Some other statement
   C) Some third statement
   D) A & B
   E) A, B, and C

These do preserve "the right answer" as a single choice.  Again, either 
right or wrong, no partial credit.  Getting a part correct but not the 
other part is still wrong.  That is also clearly evident in the question.
