A computer chess program can indeed present a person with a short list of best 3 or 4 moves, but they are unable to explain the strengths and weakness of each. A program can assign a score to the best 3-4 moves, which will show you what the program thinks how good the move is, but nothing more. Chess engines which can use the UCI protocol (Lots of freeware engines and pretty much every commercial engine) have a feature called multi pv, which is exactly what you're asking for.
