Actually, using a Getter() method is often preferable too - just depends on how you want to do it.
I will say, I would keep your Questions class as a generic "Model" class - as abstract as possible - and keep the questions external - say in XML or a webservice of some kind- and pass the data to the Questions model class. I wouldn't hard code the data in the class itself. "Classes should contain no information" is a good way to think of it.
