Thoughts

For each question this solution uses an article element with a button and some pragraphs inside. For now, I leave it as it is, but I found some HTML elements that might be more suitable for creating a disclosure widget. Apart from IE, most browsers seem to support the details element and it looks fine from the accessibility point of view.

I may update this solution in the future, until then, this element is an interesting thing to note, at least.
