You need to read the contents from the "example.txt" file and post the details in the test area.

send_keys only takes a string as input and not the file. I am from Java, but I think it would look something like this:

Questions = bro.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='nopaste']")
file = open("example.txt", "r") 
Questions.send_keys(file.readlines())
