The only way to 100% guarantee this working across all devices is to:

• split each question+answer into its own HTML file.

Otherwise, you have to rely on:

• page-break-before: always and/or page-break-inside: avoid in your CSS.

Your ebook can then make suggestions to the device—"please break here"—but most devices don't support (or will ignore) that CSS code.

Side Note: For more detailed info, see my responses and code examples in:

• 2022: "Widows & Orphans won't disappear"
  
  • See "Method #1: Split Each Poem Into Its Own HTML File" + "Method #2: CSS page-break"
    
• 2022: "Remove blank pages"
  
  • See the "Side Note" ~3/4th of the way down, where I discuss page-break-before + page-break-after.
    

In those threads, I also went into extreme detail on lyrics/poetry, where you sometimes want these things kept together as entire chunks.

(I believe one of those users had a book full of poems, so wanted each poem starting on its own screen.)

It's possible... But would it work well on actual devices? Not really.

When I deal with poems + figures/captions, I follow the best practices I described in the links above, then cross my fingers and hope better devices/readers come out in the future.
