           Questions.Add(new Question
            {
                QuestionString = GlobalClass.RandomString(40),
                Answers = new List<Answer>() {
                 for(int j = 0; j<4; j++){
                  new Answer { } ...
                 }
                }

It is possible, for example you can use mentioned Enumerable.Range

new List<Answer>(Enumerable.Range(0, 4).Select(i => new Answer { ... }));

but please don't use such constructions, it is very hard to debug.

You can use Enumerable.Range

for (int i = 0; i < 40; i++)
{
    Questions.Add(new Question
    {
        QuestionString = GlobalClass.RandomString(40),
        Answers = Enumerable.Range( 0,4 ).Select( x=>new Answer {
            Id = x
        }).ToList()
    });
}
