I am trying to make it so when you get an answer correct in my trivia game, it will get rid of the big question you see and say "well done" for 5 seconds and then go back to the main menu where there are 4 randomly selected questions. The questions are loaded in from a quizfile.csv and contains:
What colour is elon musk's hair?,brown
What is most popular sport?,football
What was Queen first called?,Smile
What's superior Apple Or Windows?,Windows
They are random as they are just placeholder and for testing purposes only. The place where I want the pause/display for 5 seconds function is on line 115 of the first file.
I have tried time.sleep(5) and this just freezes the program and doesn't display it for 5 seconds, much like for less than a second. Would I need to use pygame.event.set_timer() and if so, how?

Any help appreciated!
You've to use a timer event. See pygame.event.
Create a user event and a paused state.
pausetimerevent = pygame.USEREVENT + 1
paused = False
If the game is paused then display "well done". When the answer is correct, then set paused = True and start the timer. See pygame.time.set_timer:
while gameState != "exit":
if not paused and b2on:
# [...]
if paused:
question("well done")
elif correct:
correct = False
paused = True
pygame.time.set_timer(pausetimerevent, 5000) # 5000 milliseconds = 5 socond
After the the time has elapsed, the event occurs. Reset paused and reset the timer by passing 0 to the time argument:
while gameState != "exit":
# [...]
for event in pygame.event.get(): # get user interaction events
if event.type == pygame.QUIT: # tests if window's X (close) has been clicked
gameState = "exit" # causes exit of game loop
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
mouse_pos = event.pos # gets mouse position
# [...]
if event.type == pausetimerevent:
pygame.time.set_timer(pausetimerevent, 0) # stop timer
paused = False
