Question

Is there any way to do something like this using an enumerated list:

It's possible to do this with the exam package and if I have to I will but I thought there might be a way without having to bring in a specific package. In order to get on with the writing I'm currently doing something like this for a single question:

\item \phantom{x}
\begin{enumerate}
\item (a)
\item (b)
\end{enumerate}

which is far from desirable.

Does this answer your question? Enumerated list with square brackets — Alan Munn, Aug 27 '21 at 16:57
Apart from the specific format requested, this is a duplicate. For your case use \usepackage{enumitem} ... \begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)] for the second level enumeration. — Alan Munn, Aug 27 '21 at 16:58
@Munn Square brackets, no I don't think so. I'll try your second suggestion. — rhody, Aug 27 '21 at 17:00

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item \begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
        \item   sub-question a
        \item   sub-question b
        \item   sub-question c
        \end{enumerate}
  \item \begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
        \item   sub-question a
        \item   sub-question b
        \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Easily done with enumitem:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\sffamily
\noindent Here is a list of questions:
\begin{enumerate}[left= 0pt, label=\arabic., leftmargin=]
\item \begin{enumerate}[left=0pt, label=(\alph), leftmargin=]
\item Here is a question.
\item Another question that is part of Q1.
\item And anotherquestion.
\end{enumerate}
\item \begin{enumerate}[left= 0pt, label=(\alph), leftmargin=, nosep]
\item And it continues, but with Q2.
\item Last question.
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
