Literally it means something like:

What is the proper translation for と続いた後で?
As far as the nuance goes, it is like saying:

> "After a (long) run/series of answers such as X and Y, there came Answer Z."

「～～と[続]{つづ}いた」 implies that it took a pretty long time for all the answers to
be presented.

answer
The answers x and y were followed by the answer z.

It can be used like this as well.

> ジョギングやジムの続いた後で、スイミングをしました
>
> After going for a a jog and to the gym, I went swimming.

In the above case, it implies that even though I did all of those exercises I
still went swimming.
