Use the “columns” option for itemize or write the question with the paragraphs
(\defineparagraphs, it’s described in the big manual) environment.
\starttext
\startitemize[n,columns,three]
\item First question
\framed[height=10cm,width=\textwidth]{}
\item Second question
\framed[height=10cm,width=\textwidth]{}
\item Third question
\framed[height=10cm,width=\textwidth]{}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
