i did not see this for the quiz game state system and the qa.csv file idea  
i prepared for you.

> modularize my program using some file.js

more details please?

again, like the idea that the questions and answers should not be “hard coded”  
( better already is to use suggested arrays )  
instead treat it as DATA  
from a loadable external file ( here spreadsheet type qa.csv )  
to a table object.

so yes, modularization can be ( in a second step ) to separate code to several files.  
but: the reason can not be that your code is now 3000 lines.  
as in times of code folding here p5.js online editor  
 ![p5js_codefolding](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/2/23b620637bddc0a36ab1699cf406f42c8b2d7448.png)  
it is again your problem about (re)-using more own logical functions  
just copy 1000 lines outside to a external file actually makes it more difficult to find something.

no, the real reason for using a extra code file should be re usability.  
so you have a function /  
or a class ( for what it is the pure reason they exist: to be re used )  
you want use from several projects you could  
download and upload that as a extra file.js.  
But to get that running need to declare it in the index.html  
( or your browser would not know that it must download it )

to show that better i made a little play code
