You have a 50% chance of getting the right answer and a 50% of getting the wrong answer. You best bet is to eliminate your three worse/wrong answers and that leaves you with two that are more or less correct . I have taken tests where points are taken away for guessing. Each right answer was one point and for every wrong two points were taken off. This was a national standardized test. In all the testing I have taken I have no way to beat the system set up by testing. I have taken the LSAT, GRE, SAT, ACT, National Teachers Exam, and several others. Nothing beats getting the test prep book and learning the tricks for that particular test.

There is 1 right answer out of 5 possible answers, so the probability of guessing it correctly is 1/5 or 20% or 0.2.

The probability will depend on how much you know and the extent of guessing.

Not sure what a mulitple choice qustion is but if it is anything like a multiple choice question, it is 1/5 or 20%. I strongly advise you to get a dictionary, learn to spell or use a spell checker.

You have a 4 percent chance of guessing both answers correctly assuming there is only one correct answer to each question and that you may only answer once per question.

What is the probability of getting a question right simple by guessing?
That depends a lot on the specific circumstances, of how you guess. For instance, if a test has true/false questions, the probability is 1/2; if it is a multiple-choice question with 4 options, the probability is 1/4; if there are 6 options, the probability is 1/6, etc.; if you have to calculate a number (and it is NOT a multiple choice question), the probability is rather low, indeed.
