How do get people's responses to carry through to a later question?

Hello everyone, I am designing a survey for my thesis project. For my survey, the answer to a question is referred to at a later point in the survey. So for eg my first question is "What is your favourite colour" and the participant's respond "XYZ". Then a couple of questions later, I want them to think BACK to that response and give me another rating. So for example I want their answer to show up on another block like "name 8 things that are XYZ" where XYZ is the answer from the previous block.
Is there a way to do that? Any help would be much appreciated!!

If it's a multiple choice question you will based the piped text off selected choices
