One simple way, perhaps there are not too many questions?, is to
make each question link to another almost identical page except
one that has the answer to the right with a background that is
different to the 'previous'. Easy to do. Know what I mean?

Perhaps what you want is a hover effect though, because if the
answers are there staring at people to the right of each
question, why will they think it worth it to click? How to get
such a hover effect on the answer's and not the question's
background? Javascript perhaps, fancy this route?
