    A markup language is a set of interpretation to text that describes how it is to be structured, laid out or formatted.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement accurately describes a markup language. Markup languages provide instructions on how to structure, layout, or format text.

    Correct Answer
    A. H1
    Explanation
    The heading level h1 typically has the largest font size compared to the other heading levels (h3, h5, and h6). This is because h1 is generally used for the main title or heading of a webpage, and it is designed to stand out and grab the reader's attention. On the other hand, the heading levels h3, h5, and h6 are typically used for subheadings or lower-level headings, so they usually have smaller font sizes to indicate their hierarchy.
