Answer 1

You need to have a property on your view model that will hold the selected answer when the form is posted:

public partial class Question
{
    public int QuestionID { get; set; }
    public string QuestionBody { get; set; }
    public string CorrectAnswer { get; set; }
    public string AlternativeAnswer { get; set; }           

    public string SelectedAnswer { get; set; }
}

and then simply loop through the elements of your model and generated the desired markup:

@model IList<Quiz.Models.Question>                                

<h2>Welcome to the Quiz</h2>
@Html.BeginForm( method:FormMethod.Post, controllerName:"Home", actionName:"index")
{
    @for (var i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
    {
        @Html.HiddenFor(x => x[i].QuestionID)
        <fieldset>
            <legend>
                @Html.DisplayFor(x => x[i].QuestionBody)
            </legend>
            <ul>
                <li>
                    @Html.HiddenFor(x => x[i].CorrectAnswer)
                    @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x[i].SelectedAnswer, Model[i].CorrectAnswer)
                    @Html.DisplayFor(x => x[i].CorrectAnswer)
                </li>
                <li>
                    @Html.HiddenFor(x => x[i].AlternativeAnswer)
                    @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x[i].SelectedAnswer, Model[i].AlternativeAnswer)
                    @Html.DisplayFor(x => x[i].AlternativeAnswer)
                </li>
            </ul>
        </fieldset>
    }

    <button type="submit">OK</button>
}

NOTE: When the form is submitted the POST action could take an IList<Question> model where you will have the answers for each question (in the SelectedAnswer property).
