HTML Basics for Class 6 CBSE Computer: 18 MCQs with answers

HyperText Markup Language

HTML stands for **HyperText Markup Language**. The word *markup* is the key clue — it tells you HTML marks up content rather than computing with it.

A markup language that describes the structure of web content

HTML is a **markup language**. It has no if-statements or loops; it simply wraps content in tags so the browser knows what each piece is. CSS handles styling and JavaScript handles interactivity.

Display it as the largest, most important heading

`` is the top heading level, so the browser renders *My School* as the largest, most important heading on the page. The tags themselves are never displayed.

`</p>`

A closing tag carries a **forward slash** before the tag name: ``. Writing `` again would just open a second paragraph.

`<br>`

`` inserts a line break and never wraps around content, so it has no closing tag. The other three all come in opening-and-closing pairs.

`<head>`

The `` holds behind-the-scenes information about the page, including the ``. The `` holds everything the visitor actually sees.

True

**HTML** stands for **HyperText Markup Language** and is used to structure content on the web.

The two words separated by a single space

HTML **collapses extra whitespace** into a single space. To force a line break you must use the `` tag, and to start a new block you use ``.

`<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit</a>`

The `` tag creates a hyperlink and uses the **`href`** attribute for the destination. `src` belongs to ``, and `` cannot hold link text.

`<img src="school.jpg">`

The `` tag embeds an image and uses the **`src`** attribute for the file path. It is an empty tag, so no closing tag is needed.

`<ol>` with `<li>` for each step

An **ordered list** uses `` and shows numbers, which suits steps in a sequence. `` would give bullets instead, and `` with `` gives no list numbering at all.

The browser may treat everything after it as part of that paragraph, breaking the layout

An unclosed tag is one of the most frequent beginner errors. The browser keeps treating following content as part of that paragraph, so the layout breaks. The file itself is not corrected.

HTML describes structure, while a programming language gives instructions to compute

HTML **describes** content structure and has no logic features. A programming language like Python **computes** — it has if-statements and loops and produces a result, file or action.

I and II only

Statement III is wrong: the `` holds information *about* the page and is not displayed in the main page area. The `` holds the visible content, and the `` shows on the browser tab.

The tags are closed in the wrong order — `</b>` should come before `</p>`

Tags must be closed in the **reverse order** they were opened, like nesting boxes. Since `` was opened first and `` second, `` must close first, then ``.

Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.

HTML genuinely is a markup language, and the reason is exactly that it only *describes* content with tags — it has no logic features such as if-statements or loops. So R explains A.

The browser will display 'Welcome' but ignore the paragraph due to a missing closing tag.

The paragraph tag `` is not closed, causing the browser to treat everything after it as part of that paragraph, leading to unexpected rendering.

The second list item will not display because it lacks a closing `</li>` tag.

The second list item is missing a closing `` tag, which will cause the browser to misinterpret the structure of the list. Each `` must be properly closed.
