because you changed the code ... ;-) Remember that an empty line
is the end of a paragraph. But you put comments %% in my
empty lines, so we have no paragraphs anymore ...

And second, a minipage of width 2ex makes absolutely no sense
here, because your list of o's is about half the textwidth.

\begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
    \makebox[\nC\omrx]{PREFER FIRST}\par
    %% Put headings on columns
 
\hspace*{1.2\omrx}\multido{\nColumn=1+1}{\nC}{\makebox[\omrx]{\nColumn}}\par
    %% Make nR rows of 9 ovals for answers
    \multido{\nRow=1+1}{\nR}{%
      \makebox[\omrx]{\nRow}
      \multido{}{9}{\makebox[7mm]{\OLeft}}\\[2mm]}
\end{minipage}
