Question 1

Which attribute within the viewport meta tag is used to set the initial zoom level of the webpage?

width
height
initial-scale
user-scalable

Explanation:

The 'initial-scale' attribute specifies the initial zoom level when the page is first loaded on the device. It controls how zoomed-in or zoomed-out the content appears initially.

Question 2

How does the <kbd> tag differ from the <code> tag in HTML?

<kbd> is for generic code snippets, while <code> represents user input.
<kbd> displays text in a fixed-width font, while <code> uses a proportional font.
<kbd> is used for keyboard input, while <code> is for displaying programming code.
<kbd> and <code> are interchangeable; there is no practical difference.

Explanation:

While both tags can visually format text similarly, their semantic meanings are distinct. Use <kbd> to represent keys pressed by a user, and use <code> for snippets of program code.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of Web Workers in HTML5?

To manipulate the DOM directly
To handle user input events
To perform CPU-intensive tasks in the background
To manage network requests

Explanation:

Web Workers allow you to run JavaScript code in a separate thread, preventing long-running scripts from blocking the main user interface thread and improving responsiveness.

Question 4

Which HTML5 element is used to define the main content of a webpage?

<main>
<section>
<article>
<header>

Explanation:

The <main> element is specifically designed to represent the dominant content within the body of an HTML document. It's intended to enclose the content that's directly related to the central topic of the page.

Question 5

Which attribute, when added to an input field, makes it mandatory for the user to fill out before submitting the form?

disabled
required
placeholder
readonly

Explanation:

The 'required' attribute, when present within an input tag, enforces the user to provide a value for that specific field before the form can be successfully submitted.

Question 6

What is the primary purpose of the <pre> tag in HTML?

To display large font sizes for headings.
To create a new paragraph with indented text.
To preserve whitespace and line breaks exactly as typed.
To display text in a bold and italicized format.

Explanation:

The <pre> tag defines preformatted text. Any whitespace characters like spaces and line breaks within the <pre> element are displayed exactly as they are typed in the HTML source code.

Question 7

Which HTML element is used to indicate a lengthy quotation from another source?

<q>
<blockquote>
<cite>
<code>

Explanation:

The <blockquote> tag is specifically designed for long quotations. Browsers often indent content within <blockquote> tags to visually set them apart from surrounding text.

Question 8

What HTML5 tag provides a predefined list of options for an input field, offering suggestions to the user as they type?

select
datalist
option
list

Explanation:

The 'datalist' element is used to create a list of suggestions for input fields. It's linked to an input element, and options within the datalist appear as suggestions while the user types.

Question 9

Which HTML tag is most appropriate for displaying a variable name within a code snippet?

<var>
<samp>
<code>
<kbd>

Explanation:

The <var> tag is specifically meant to represent a variable within programming code. While you could use <code> for the entire code snippet, using <var> for variables makes the code more readable and meaningful.

Question 10

Which type of Web Storage is designed to store data for the duration of the user's browsing session?

localStorage
sessionStorage
browserStorage
temporaryStorage

Explanation:

Data stored in sessionStorage persists only for the duration of the user's session in the browser. It is deleted when the user closes the tab or window.
