Ok, thanks. You ideas were very useful. I have written this code so far (code below), but my problem is do i have to create a JLabel for each and every question. I had already wrote the questions in a textfile, and so i was wondering if there is a way by which i could call this textfile, instead of having to write the questions all over again, because if so, i think than the textfile has become useless if i have to creat labels for each question.

Code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class Ch14TextFrame1 extends JFrame implements ActionListener{

  private static final int FRAME_WIDTH = 1024;
  private static final int FRAME_HEIGHT= 768;
  private static final int FRAME_X_ORIGIN = 0;
  private static final int FRAME_Y_ORIGIN = 0;
  
  private static final int BUTTON_WIDTH = 80;
  private static final int BUTTON_HEIGHT = 30;
 
   private JLabel prompt;
  private JTextField inputLine;

  
  public static void main(String[] args){
      Ch14TextFrame1 frame = new Ch14TextFrame1();
      frame.setVisible(true);
      
    }
    
  public Ch14TextFrame1(){
      Container contentPane;
      JButton button1, button2, button3, button4, button5;
      setSize (FRAME_WIDTH, FRAME_HEIGHT);
      setResizable (true);
      setTitle ("Program Ch14TextFrame3");
      setLocation (FRAME_X_ORIGIN, FRAME_Y_ORIGIN);
      
      contentPane = getContentPane();
      contentPane.setLayout(null);
       
     
      
      
      

      
      
     
        button1 = new JButton("Finish");
          
      
        
        button1.setBounds(650,600,200,50);
   
       
        
        button1.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 30));
       
        
        
        button1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder());
       
       
        
        
        button1.setBackground (Color.pink);
        button1.setForeground (Color.blue);
   
       
     
        
        prompt = new JLabel( );

        prompt.setText("Plate Tectonics Quiz");
        prompt.setSize(900,50);
        prompt.setLocation(300,30);
        prompt.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", Font.BOLD, 40));
        prompt.setForeground(Color.red);
        contentPane.add(prompt);
        
        
        prompt = new JLabel( );

        prompt.setText(" 1)When the continents were joined together they were called  a) Hellenic b) Pangaea c) Mariana");
        prompt.setSize(900,70);
        prompt.setLocation(10,90);
        prompt.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", Font.BOLD, 14));
        prompt.setForeground(Color.black);
        contentPane.add(prompt);
        inputLine = new JTextField();
        inputLine.setSize(100,20);
        inputLine.setLocation(625,115);
        contentPane.add(inputLine);
        inputLine.addActionListener(this);
        
        prompt = new JLabel( );

        prompt.setText(" 2) When continents move towards each other they are called   a) Constructive b) Destructive c) Conservative");
        prompt.setSize(900,70);
        prompt.setLocation(10,120);
        prompt.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", Font.BOLD, 14));
        prompt.setForeground(Color.black);
        contentPane.add(prompt);
        inputLine = new JTextField();
        inputLine.setSize(100,20);
        inputLine.setLocation(700,145);
        contentPane.add(inputLine);
        inputLine.addActionListener(this);
        
         prompt = new JLabel( );

        prompt.setText(" 3) At what depth does a subducted plate melt? a) 100km b) 300km c) 20km");
        prompt.setSize(900,70);
        prompt.setLocation(10,150);
        prompt.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", Font.BOLD, 14));
        prompt.setForeground(Color.black);
        contentPane.add(prompt);
        inputLine = new JTextField();
        inputLine.setSize(100,20);
        inputLine.setLocation(500,175);
        contentPane.add(inputLine);
        inputLine.addActionListener(this);
        
        
       
       

 
        contentPane.add(button1);
        button1.addActionListener(this);
        button1.setActionCommand("b1");

        
      
      setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
    
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        if(event.getSource() instanceof JButton) {
            JButton clickedButton = (JButton) event.getSource();
            
            String buttonText = clickedButton.getText();
            setTitle("You clicked" + buttonText);
            
        String ac = event.getActionCommand();
        if (ac.equals("b1")) {
        
        }
       

}
  }
}

Thanks again.
