Store questions in a list

Copying the same if block for every question gets messy. Store each question and answer as a pair in a list, then loop over it. Now adding a question is one line.

Key points

A list of (question, answer) tuples
for q, a in questions:
One loop handles every question

questions = [
    ("What is the capital of Kuwait?", "kuwait city"),
    ("How many bits in a byte?", "8"),
    ("What does CPU stand for?", "central processing unit"),
]

score = 0
for question, correct in questions:
    answer = input(question + " ").strip().lower()
    if answer == correct:
        print("Correct!")
        score += 1
    else:
        print(f"Not quite. The answer was: {correct}")
