how to tidy up the playeranswer part with list or other methods?

import random
question = list()
question1 = input ("Question 1")
question.append(question1)
question2 = input ("Question 2")
question.append(question2)
question3 = input ("Question 3")
question.append(question3)
question4 = input ("Question 4")
question.append(question4)
answer = list()
answer1 = input ("Answer of question 1")
answer.append(answer1)
answer2 = input ("Answer of question 2")
answer.append(answer2)
answer3 = input ("Answer of question 3")
answer.append(answer3)
answer4 = input ("Answer of question 4")
answer.append(answer4)
random = random.randint(1,4)
if random == 1:
    playeranswer1 = input (question[1])
    if playeranswer1 == answer[1]:
        print("You are right!")
    else:
        print("You are wrong...")
if random == 2:
    playeranswer2 = input (question[2])
    if playeranswer2 == answer[2]:
        print("You are right!")
    else:
        print("You are wrong...")
if random == 3:
    playeranswer3 = input (question[3])
    if playeranswer3 == answer[3]:
        print("You are right!")
    else:
        print("You are wrong...")
if random == 4:
    playeranswer4 = input (question[4])
    if playeranswer4 == answer[4]:
        print("You are right!")
    else:
        print("You are wrong...")

Have two lists: questions and answers. Use a for loop to input them from the user, appending each one as you get it. Then get a random index and use it to pull the question and answer out of the two lists.

Even better, have one list. The items in the list are a tuple of (question, answer). Then you can use random.choice to pick them both out without having to mess with indexes.
