Multiple Choice answers with branching per answer
ChrisLangfield Agree. My previous replies on this thread suggest having the option of making questions conditional upon previous responses, including multiple select responses, which is what I think you are suggesting too.
There's no scripting language exposed for the form creator to use, and I don't think that would be appropriate for the target audience for MS Forms. However, in other products (e.g. modern SharePoint conditional column formatting) Microsoft have proved themselves eminently capable of embedding ui-based expression builders into their products - so this is very do-able.

Simon_P735 I've also recently been shown Typeform - which has a Logic section in which it is very simple to add responses with OR /AND logic, eg if Q1 has Saturday OR Q1 has Sunday then Jump To Qweekend, and so on. There are many ways behind the scenes to implement this - bitlists (ie 1011001), dictionaries, arrays and so on - which they really need if they want people to use the software for anything more than very basic questions. Perhaps they wish to keep the audience limited, so they don't clutter up their cloud with too much data, I don't know; but anyone who has a branching and a multi-answer facility in their software really should contemplate how combinations of answer can best be handled.
