How about this;

 
atom the_question 
constant questionid    = 1, 
         answerid      = 2, 
         correctid     = 3 
 
constant questions     = { 
 
  { 
  "QUESTION 1", 
  {"Q1 ANSWER1", "Q1 ANSWER2", "Q1 ANSWER3", ...}, 
  CORRECT_ANSWER_INDEX 
  }, 
 
  { 
  "QUESTION 2", 
  {"Q2 ANSWER1", "Q2 ANSWER2", "Q2 ANSWER3", "Q2 ANSWER4", ...}, 
  CORRECT_ANSWER_INDEX 
  }, 
 
  .... 
 
} 

In my opinion, this is much more flexible, but might be abit confusing.. Anyway, here you can have any amount of questions and answers you'd like.

Code for retriving the question and the correct answer would be (question 1);

the_question = 1 
questions[the_question][questionid] = the question 
questions[the_question][answerid][1..$] = possible answers 
questions[the_question][answerid][questions[the_question][correctid]] = Correct answer 

the_question is an atom refering to the question you're asking.
