Hi Joe, If for some reason the answers you've received don't fit your needs, please remember you can always put special text tokens in your LyX file, then run a Python3 program of your own device to make necessary insertions, changes and deletions to produce what you want. For instance, in your text you could have a vvvQUESTIONSvvv and a ^^^QUESTIONS^^^ bookend your questions, and a >>>CORRECT<<< at the beginning of each correct answer. The Python program would remove the tokens after reading them, and put the answer section where it belongs, with the correct answer(s) having a different character style. I did this in the past, and it worked. Obviously an all-LyX solution is better, but one nice thing about LyX is its native format is still reasonably parsable so if nothing else works, writing such a program is always a way to get what you need. Basically, it just adds one more short step to the compile process.
