B. Incorrect: The first part of the selector locates the element with id of readingPane
while the second part of the selector returns the first letter of the <div> element,
but not for each paragraph.
C. Incorrect: The first part of the selector locates the element with id of readingPane
while the second part of the selector locates all paragraph elements and returns
only the first paragraph. The style is applied to the entire paragraph.

applied to the entire <div> element.- Correct answer: A
A. Correct: Specificity is the deciding factor in this example. The specificity value is
0,1,2 in the first style rule. The specificity value is 0,0,2 in the second style rule. The
first value is higher; thus, yellow is displayed.
B. Incorrect: Remember that textual order comes into play only when the specificity
values are the same.
C. Incorrect: There are selector matches that would keep the color from being
transparent.
D. Incorrect: There are selector matches that would keep the color from being white. - Correct answer: B
A. Incorrect: Remember that if the specificity values are the same, textual order dic-
tates the outcome.
B. Correct: The specificity value for both style rules is 0,1,2, so textual order dictates
the outcome. The Department.css file is linked after the Corporate.css file, so the
style rule in the Department.css file will be applied.
C. Incorrect: There are selector matches that would keep the color from being
transparent.
D. Incorrect: There are selector matches that would keep the color from being white.

A. Incorrect: The rgb function requires you to specify varying amounts of red, green,
and blue for each color, so it’s not easy to derive three colors that match.

to specify the alpha (opacity) value, too.
C. Correct: By using the hsl function, you can set the hue value and then adjust the
saturation and lightening values to derive other matching colors.
D. Incorrect: There is no color function that can be used in a style sheet to generate
a color.
