For this particular example, frankly, a class doesn't make sense.  Just write it as a set of 
independent functions.  A class would make more sense if you wanted to make this a generic Quiz 
class, then you could change the actual quiz simply by passing an appropriate dictionary to it 
when it's instantiated.  But even that could be done with simple functions as well.

No way!  That's nonsense also.  You need to go through some introductory tutorials.  Just keep 
in mind that Python and Java are VERY different languages.  (I don't know Java myself, my 
(hobby) programming background has been with C, and I'm still just starting to learn Python, too.)
