2. Short Answer Questions
a) Define tag. Differentiate between paired
tag and singular tag with examples
HTML tag is a special keyword enclosed
within angle brackets (< >) used to define and format content in a web

Paired tags consist of an opening tag
and a closing tag. The opening tag starts the element and the closing tag ends
it. Example: <p>Paragraph</p>, <b>Bold</b>.
Singular tags (also called empty tags)
do not have a closing tag. They perform a single function. Example: <br>
(line break), <hr> (horizontal line), <img>.

Attributes are used to provide
additional information about HTML elements. They define properties such as
color, size, alignment, source, and links. Attributes are always written inside
