Can you provide an example question? also is it intended that there are
multiple question on a page?
anyway here is a stab at code for a single page pre question:

<h1>Question 4</h1>
<p>brief description</p>
<p>..</p>
<h2 id="question">specific question</h2>
<fieldset aria-labelledby="question">
The answer set (e.g., True or False, Multiple Choice, etc.)
</fieldset>
