    You can use the (either: ) macro to do what you want, it's documentation includes an example of how to use the macro to randomly insert words into part of a sentence.

    If the text you want to randomly display is large then you can use the same macro to randomly select a passage to display using the (display: ) macro. You code would end up looking something like the following. 
    (set: $passage to (either: "passage name A", "passage name B"))
(display: $passage)
