ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 9

Which of the following is an appropriate description concerning the usage of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) tags?

a)<LABEL> is used to define the title of a Web page.b)<BODY> is used to describe the text of a Web page.c)<BIG> is used to specify the size and style applied to each character in a Web page.d)<FORM> is used to divide a Web page into multiple frames.

Explanation

BODY describes the text of a Web page — the <BODY> element holds the content that the browser displays.

An HTML document has two main parts: <HEAD>, with information about the page such as its title in <TITLE>, and <BODY>, with everything shown in the browser window: text, headings, images, tables, links and forms.

Answer (b)

Why not others:

•(a) — the title of a page, shown in the browser's title bar or tab, is set with <TITLE> inside <HEAD>; <LABEL> attaches a caption to a form control such as a check box
•(c) — <BIG> only showed text one size larger than the surrounding text and was dropped in HTML5; the size and style of characters are set with CSS (formerly <FONT>)
•(d) — <FORM> groups input controls such as text boxes and buttons whose values are sent to the server; frames were made with <FRAMESET> and <FRAME>

Key rule: HTML tags mark the structure of a page: <HEAD> holds information about the page, <BODY> holds what is displayed, and the appearance of text belongs to CSS.
