How to include a selection hyperlink without a newline

I'm using the QuestionForm schema for a mechanical turk survey. I'd like to include a link to a google search of each of the suggested answers in the form. So if b is a possible answer, I would like b to appear as a link to a google search of that word.

The problem is that when I use the <FormattedContent> tag, the answer is being put in a new block, preceded by a newline, and this makes the form unnecessarily long.

Any way to avoid that pesky newline?

Here's a snippet from the XML I'm using:

<AnswerSpecification>
  <SelectionAnswer>
    <MinSelectionCount>1</MinSelectionCount>
    <MaxSelectionCount>2</MaxSelectionCount>
    <StyleSuggestion>checkbox</StyleSuggestion>
    <Selections>
      <Selection>
        <SelectionIdentifier>a</SelectionIdentifier>
        <FormattedContent><![CDATA[<a href="http://ift.tt/1I9JaY6">a</a>]]></FormattedContent>
      </Selection>
      <Selection>
        <SelectionIdentifier>b</SelectionIdentifier>
        <FormattedContent><![CDATA[<a href="http://ift.tt/1I9JaY7">b</a>]]></FormattedContent>
      </Selection>
    </Selections>
  </SelectionAnswer>
