How to remain active on a timed gameobject

Question

Hello im making a simple trivia game and im trying to remain the gameobject active when the correct answer is clicked. The problem is the correct answer is active only for a second then is inactive then the next answer is active. How can I get it to remain active when gameobject is chosen no matter the time limit?

Game Manager Script

 public GameObject[] anw;
 int index;
 private float timeBtwAct;
 public float startTimeBtwAct;
 public float actWait;

 
 void Start()
 {
     timeBtwAct = startTimeBtwAct;
     for (var i = 0; i < anw.Length; i++)
         anw[i].SetActive(false);
 }

 void Update()
 {
     if (timeBtwAct <= 0)
     {
         index = Random.Range(0, anw.Length);

         for (var i = 0; i < anw.Length; i++)
             anw[i].SetActive(false);

         anw[index].SetActive(true);

         timeBtwAct = actWait;
     }
     else
     {
         timeBtwAct -= Time.deltaTime;
     }
 }

GameObject script function when clicked

 void OnMouseDown()
 {
     gameObject.SetActive(true);
     AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(clip, transform.position);
     GetComponent<Animator>().enabled = true;
 }

Game Manager Script

 for (var i = 0; i < anw.Length; i++)
     if(!anw[i].isClicked)
         anw[i].SetActive(false);
 anw[index].SetActive(true);

GameObject script function

 public bool isClicked = false;
 void OnMouseDown()
 {
     gameObject.SetActive(true);
     AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(clip, transform.position);
     GetComponent<Animator>().enabled = true;
     isClicked = true;
 }

i understand like this. is it ok?

These are 2 different scripts and the game manager script is not letting me put a bool in the code for (var i = 0; i < anw.Length; i++) if (!anw[i].isClicked) anw[i].SetActive(false);

did you declare a bool as public in gameobject?
i guess variable 'anw' is a gameobject, so i think game manager can access to public variables of gameobject.

Yes anw is a gameobject with its own script and the bool is declared as public but for some reason it comes up with an error I even tried public static bool.

i forgot component. you have to get component with script name before accessing. if your script(and class) name is 'Answer', try like this.

 for (var i = 0; i < anw.Length; i++) {
     Answer answer  = anw[i].GetComponent<Answer>();
     if(!answer.isClicked)
         anw[i].SetActive(false);
 }
 anw[index].SetActive(true);
