You're missing a closing bracket in your for loop and have buidList instead of buildList on one line:

// ...

for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1) {
  question = questions[i][0];
  answer = questions[i][1];
  response = prompt(question);
  response = parseInt(response);
  if (response === answer) {
    correctAnswers += 1;
    correct.push(question);
  } else {
    wrong.push(question);
  }
} // Add this in there

var html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right.";
html += "<h2>The answer you got right were:</h2>"
html += buidList(correct); // Typo here. 
html += buildList(wrong);
print(html);

unexpected end of input usually means there is a missing bracket/parentheses/etc somewhere. It's a frustrating error because it says it's on line 1, but usually that's not the case.
