soviphou1. Is there any question?

This one needs more words. In this combination, "question" means "doubt":

Is there any question that Lucy was right? ~ Is there any doubt that Lucy was right? ~ There can't be any doubt that Lucy was right. ~ Lucy was certainly right.

soviphou2. Are there any questions?

This is what a teacher might ask a classroom full of students. (Or, Do you have any questions?)
