Is this a copyright violation?

[antonyeo]

If I take information from a textbook and write questions in my own wording, am I in violation of any copyright laws? The plan is to use these questions to create a game, for profit. The information can be found in various text books on the same subject.

For example the information in the textbook gives a definition.

"Circulating Feed – Fire hydrant that receives water from two or more directions.


So, I want to make a question in a game that asks,

Which type of fire hydrant receives water from more than one direction?
a. Dead end
b. Circulating Feed
c. Secondary
d. Primary feeder
