Hi,
I am sure you know that thids is not the very best approach.
A ranking question is a ranking question.
You can really use this type of question and validate accordingly:
"exclusive option only on first place" and "second place is empty"
In my opinion it can be better to have three multipunch questions using
maximum answers = 1
array filter exclusion = the question before
and relevance if option "none of the above" or "no more" was selected.
