ｘやｙなどと続いた後で、ｚという答えがあった。
Literally it means something like:
The answers were x, y followed by z.
What is the better translation for this?

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.
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.
