answer the questions 为什么不是answer the question或者answer thhese questions?

answer the questions 为什么不是answer the question或者answer thhese questions?
He finished answering the questions before the end of the exam.这句话中为什么不是answer the question或者answer thhese questions呢?

其实三个都可以的,看你句子的中文意思需要了:
answer the question: 回答问题(特指、一个)
answer the questions: 回答问题(特指、多个)
answer these quetions: 回答这些问题
He finished answering the questions before the end of the exam. 考试结束前他答完了所有题目.这里的“answering the questions”其实就相当于“answering all the questions”,考试通常不只一道题目,故用questions.
