Would it help to use a 2D-list? A list of lists? Something like:

```python
# this is my list
pythonQuestions = [
 [pythonFixOne, pythonFillOne, pythonStateOne, pythonAnswerOne], 
 [pythonFixTwo, pythonFillTwo, pythonStateTwo, pythonAnswerTwo], 
 ...
]

# print question 1, pythonFixOne
print(pythonQuestions[0][0])
# print question 1, pythonFillOne
print(pythonQuestions[0][1])
# print question 2, pythonFixTwo
print(pythonQuestions[1][0])

```

In `pythonQuestions[0][0]`, the first zero retrieves the first element in the list (`[pythonFixOne, pythonFillOne, pythonStateOne, pythonAnswerOne]`), and the second zero retrieves the first element in that (`pythonFixOne`).
