How to get a Random Object using Linq

Another wacky approach (not the most efficient for larger data sets):

SelectedPost = q.OrderBy(qu => Guid.NewGuid()).First();

What about:

SelectedPost = q.ElementAt(r.Next(1, Answers.Count()));

Random Element Across Entire Input

To make all elements a candidate in the random selection, you need to change the input to r.Next:

SelectedPost = Answers.ElementAt(r.Next(0, Answers.Count()));

@Zidad adds a helpful extension method to get random element over all elements in the sequence:

public static T Random<T>(this IEnumerable<T> enumerable)
{
    if (enumerable == null)
    {
         throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(enumerable));
    }

    // note: creating a Random instance each call may not be correct for you,
    // consider a thread-safe static instance
    var r = new Random();  
    var list = enumerable as IList<T> ?? enumerable.ToList(); 
    return list.Count == 0 ? default(T) : list[r.Next(0, list.Count)];
}
