<hr> element

is this video you're using br which means break line, like "enter" creating a paragraph or a space between text. hr means horizontal rule, which will create a new line. so in this quiz, you asked what is a hr element. and i fail this question - you're asking what hr means - and for you the correct answer is break line?

or am i getting all wrong?

Can you show me what code you used so I could help solve it?

Quiz question 1 of 5 What is the purpose of the element?

A The element is used to wrap paragraphs into groups. B The element breaks up a page both visually and semantically. C The element is used to create new lines. D The element should be used when listing out "human resources" or people in an organisation.

In this question, i choose C and apparently its wrong. but if i choose B its correct.

Have you ever heard of multiple choice questions on standardized tests (especially reading comprehension)? There are some questions where some answers are "more right" than others. So, technically C is correct, but B is "more correct".

Does that help explain what you were asking?
