This is a niggle, but we're professionals here.
That's not the correct use of the <p> tag. The <p> tag is a container for a
paragraph, as in <p>This is a short paragraph</p>. It should not be used to
simply insert space like that.
Two possibilites are - enclose each QA pair in a <p>...</p> pair, or put
<br>s in between them (<br> is a standalone tag, not a container...).
