Ok! First question:(The___________ pseudo-class matches an element when it's the target of a link.) Second Question:(The top-most element in an HTML document is the_________________________________ element. We're able to target that element with the_________________________ pseudo-class.) third question:(The____________ pseudo-class is called a negation pseudo-class because it doesn't target the elements specified in the argument.) Question 4:(We can use the_____________ pseudo-element to style the first rendered line of text in a paragraph.) Question5:(How is generated content rendered in the browser? Choose the correct answer below: Skip Quiz Review Video Next Question A The pseudo-elements are rendered in the source code. B It's inserted outside an element's box model. C The generated content becomes part of the DOM tree. D It appears as child content before or after an element's content.) Please help me! Thanks!
