I would start here:

http://www.coronalabs.com/resources/tutorials/getting-started-with-corona/

A trivia game will need to put text on the screen – display.newText()

I’m sure you will want to put images on there to with display.newImageRect()

You will need to learn about build.settings and config.lua for your screen size and dynamic images processing.

You will need to know how to use tables and iterate over them with loops.

All of that is available at the link above.  None of it will be “How do I build a Trivia Game”, because that’s what you provide.  Corona SDK provides you the tools to do the things you want to do.
