Need button label to come from a paragraph's ID

I am making a quiz with multiple choice questions. Instead of having the text of the choice above the button, I want to try having the choice as the label FOR the button.

With the code below the goal is to get rid of "Select Answer" and in its place put in #choice1.

<p id="choice1"></p> <button id="guess1" class="btn--brown">Select Answer</button>

Is there an easy way to do this? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Solved my own problem. I just needed to use a Span tag and assign the paragraph's ID to it instead.

<button id="guess0" class="btn--brown"><span id="choice0"></span></button>

If I am understand the question correctly you just want the choice ex("George Washington") as the answer to the frist president of the USA. If I am understanding it correctly than you've done it all you have to do is just change Select Answer to the choice. Please explain more if I am not understanding correctly and I will try to assist further

That is exactly what I am needing, and props for recognizing this from the object oriented JavaScript exercise!

So ,yes, trying to figure out how I could get the button to say George Washington and then automatically change to PI when it shifts to question 2
