Si ou oui

In french we can answer a question by 'yes' or 'no'. We don't have 'Yes I do' or 'no I don't'.
But an answer to a negative question can be ambiguous.
For example: I don't like chocolate and somebody asks me 'do you like chocolate ?' I will answer "non" (No, I don't)
And if he asks me 'don't you like chocolate ?' I will answer 'non' also (No, I don't)
But if I like chocolate and somebody ask 'do you like chocolate ?' I will answer 'oui' (yes, I do)
And if he asks 'don't you like chocolate ?' I will answer 'si' (Yes, I do)
If I just say 'oui' (yes, I do) it means 'you're right, I don't like chocolate'.
EXERCISE :
Choose the correct answer : + means 'yes, I do', - means 'No, I don't'
