Er ... what is wrong with:

%----->8-----Cut Here-----8<-----
\begin{enumerate}
\item
  Is this a question?
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item
    Yes.
  \item
    No. 
  \item
    Don't know.
  \end{enumerate}
\item
  Then is this a question?
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item
    Yes.
  \item
    No.
  \item
    Don't know. 
  \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
%----->8-----Cut Here-----8<-----

Which produces:

%----->8-----Cut Here-----8<-----
1.Is this a question?

   (a) Yes.

   (b) No.

   (c) Don't know.

2.Then is this a question?

   (a) Yes.

   (b) No.

   (c) Don't know.
