17. Quiz Answer Key and Explanations
Review every answer and understand why it is correct before continuing to the next section.
Answer 1: B — ul
The ul element represents an unordered list. The ol element represents an ordered list, dl represents a description list, and li represents an individual list item.
Answer 2: C — Ordered list
An ordered list is appropriate when sequence matters, such as step-by-step instructions. An unordered list is more appropriate when the sequence is not inherently important.
Answer 3: B — dt
The dt element represents a term or name in a description list. The dd element provides its associated description or value.
Answer 4: C — 4, 5, 6
The start attribute sets the initial ordinal value of the ordered list to 4. Each subsequent list item continues with the next ordinal value.
Answer 5: True
A nested list should be contained within the li element representing its parent item. This correctly communicates the hierarchical relationship between the parent and child items.
Answer 6: B — 1, 5, 6
The first item begins at 1. The value attribute sets the second item's ordinal value to 5, so the following item is numbered 6.
Answer 7: C — dl, dt and dd
The dl element contains the description list, dt represents a term or name, and dd represents an associated description or value.
Answer 8: A, B and D
- A is correct because ol represents an ordered list.
- B is correct because ul represents an unordered list.
- C is incorrect because dl represents term-description or name-value relationships, not arbitrary indented content.
- D is correct because the type attribute supports marker conventions such as A, a, I and i.
Answer 9: False
CSS changes the visual presentation of a list, not its underlying HTML semantics. A ul remains an unordered list even when its visible markers are removed.
Answer 10: C — 3, 2, 1
The reversed attribute makes the list count down. With three list items and no explicit start value, the default initial ordinal value is 3.
