Courses Plus Student 8,616 PointsHow do I select a plain old JavaScript representation of a DOM element?
Why answer is $("element")[0] only, why not this answer is incorrect $("element")[1] in the quiz situated in Front-end-web development < Jquery Basics < Creating a simple drawing application < 5th if you count from last.
This is my main question that both are correct (in my opinion), can you please explain if I am wrong.

Courses Plus Student 8,616 PointsYes I know that, but both the answer is true, if question was somewhat like: Which is indicating the selection of first element in DOM tree then the answer would be satisfactory. This question really doesn't make any sense to me.
