<question-wrap>
Question Wrapper
Wrapper element used to contain a question and its answers and/or explanations concerning the
question.
Remarks
The <question-wrap> model allows for a simple question, a simple
question with its answer, a question with a set of answers, or even more complex groupings in which questions are followed by
one or more answers, along with explanation(s). These question models may be used, for example, for the
Continuing Medical Education articles in a book of articles.
Design Note: This is not a model for a full quiz, test, exam, learning module, etc., but such a model could be built using these components for the questions/answers.

<p>Established by the Virginia Company of London, Jamestown
was the first permanent English settlement in the New World;
it flourished from 1607 to 1699. Although the Roanoke colony
was founded earlier (in 1587), that colony failed; upon returning
from a trip to England for supplies, its Governor found the
settlement abandoned. Although one of the earliest New England
colonies, Plymouth (in modern Massachusetts) was not founded
by the Pilgrims until 1620.</p>
