I suggest you reading and storing questions and answer in a map.
In order to read them you can use getline

eg:

//Declare the map
map<string,string> QA;

//Get a question and an answer
ifstream file("yourfile");
string key, value;
getline(file,key,';');//read the key until a semicolon is found
getline(file,value);
QA[key] = value;//set the values

//Display the answer corresponding to a given question
map<string,string>::iterator i = QA.find(question);
if ( i != QA.end() )
   cout << QA[question];
else
   //Question doesn't exists

That's the best approach, but you don't need an iterator if none of your answers are blank.

string answer = QA[question]
if ( answer.empty() )
   //Question doesn't exists
else
   cout << answer;
