This is what the code will display now:
This is what I want it to display
The positioning of the components is what’s driving me nuts. I can not seem to get the "Gender:" , "Gender RadioButton list" , "Age:" , "Age RadioButton list" to display in 4 columns on a single row.
There are going to be several different survey questions, so I do need to make the display based on CSS.
How, (or where) can learn how to properly use the and <Div class="col"???>? It’s like learning Klingon to me.

Try using this approach on your html –
Explanation: a row can be divided into 12 cols and based on your requirement you need 2 cols for the headings "gender" & "age" which won’t need much space hence we are using col-md-2 , then the list requires a bit more space that’s why we use col-md-4. And, if you notice all the cols add up to 12.
Bootstrap is based on 12 columns. Containers are a block with/without margin depending on if you choose
containerorcontainer-fluidRows arerowand a row can have columns likecol-6is size columns taken. You don’t have to have ALL 12 columns.You had some class without the = like
class "someclass"also.This is not 100% you desire but that is really just the colors/style visually to get you started.
You had too much CSS custom perhaps. Bootstrap has classes for padding
p-3for example, borderborderetc. and some additional can also probably be removed.As for your question reference the "grid" system of bootstrap: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/layout/grid/
For example I used
col-6but you might just needcolso when you get 3 you don’t have to changecol-6tocol-4
