Tools here is some pseudo-code, or logic to begin the programming

I would think that you would

store your sentences to array values
STRSENT[1]=1st sentence
STRSENT[2]=2nd sentence

use the RANDOM function (RNDM=$RANDOM),
then correlate the random number of 1-32k to your actual possibilities
for example, if 12 possible sentences, MYRNDM=12*$RNDM/32k
to get a number from 1-12 (may need to play with that a bit)

SENTENCE=STRSENT[MYRNDM]

NAME
voikkogc - test program for Voikko grammar checker SYNOPSIS
voikkogc [options] DESCRIPTION
voikkogc is a test program for grammar checking functionality in libvoikko, library of Finnish language tools. It reads sentences or para- graphs from stdin (one per line) and print the results to stdout. The results are structures containing information about grammar errors found in the input paragraph. OPTIONS
--tokenize Instead of looking for grammar errors, split input into tokens. The tokens are prefixed by type: "W" is a word, "P" is punctuation, "S" is whitespace, "U" is unknown and "E" is a prefix for error messages. --split-sentences Instead of looking for grammar errors, split input into sentences. The sentences are prefixed by type: "B" means that end of sen- tence is a probably correct, "P" means that end of sentence is a possibly correct (but probably this and the next identified sen- tence should be joined) and "E" means that sentence ends at the end of input. -n Prefix all grammar checker messages with line number of input data. accept_titles=n accept_unfinished_paragraphs=n accept_bulleted_lists=n Set the value of the specified boolean option. explanation_language=langcode Print human readable error explanation in the specified language. BUGS
Human readable error explanations are printed in UTF-8 regardless of current locale settings. SEE ALSO
voikkospell for common options of different Voikko test tools. AUTHOR
