Use string formatting:

for i in range(1, 5):
    print 'Answer {0}:'.format(i)

for i in range(1, 5):
    print "Answer", str(i)+':'

When you are printing with ',', the space is added automatically, you can concatenate output by either using + or positioning strings next to each other (in Python 2.x), like so:

for i in range(1, 5):
    print 'Answer'+str(i), ':'
    print 'Answer%d'':'%i

Check the difference!
