Personally, I wouldn't use headings for the questions, as I'd hate to
encounter a couple H2s and 83 (I made that number up) different H3s.

If it's possible that the questions could be thematic, you could place
additional headings of subtopics that describe what each part of the
conversion is.

Like,

<H3> Frogs
<P> Question
<P> Answer
<P> Question
<P> Answer
...
<H3> Designer Shoes
<P> Question
<P> Answer
<P> Question

...
<H3> Pajama Choices for Elephants
<P> Question
