Lesson 5 The Cascade

What is the purpose of the Cascade in CSS?

• To organize CSS rules alphabetically

• To decrease the specificity of CSS selectors

• To define which CSS rules win in case of a conflict

• To increase the loading time of web pages

What determines the winner in a CSS conflict according to the Cascade?

• The color value of the CSS property

• The specificity of the selector

• The length of the CSS rule

• The alphabetical order of the selector

Which factor is considered the least important in the Cascade?

• Specificity

• The size of the CSS file

• Order the rules are written in

• Rule importance

What does the !important modifier do in a CSS rule?

• It makes the rule apply only on mobile devices

• It hides the rule from the browser

• It makes the rule less important

• It makes the rule more important

How does CSS specificity affect rule application?

• ID selectors are more specific than class selectors

• ID selectors are less specific than class selectors

• Tag selectors are more specific than ID selectors

• Class selectors are more specific than ID selectors

What happens when two CSS rules have the same importance and specificity?

• Both rules are ignored

• The first rule written is applied

• The rule with the longer selector is applied

• The last rule written is applied

Which CSS selector is considered the most specific?

• Tag

• Attribute

• Class

• ID

What role does the physical order of CSS rules play in the Cascade?

• Acts as a tiebreaker when specificity and importance are equal

• Determines the color scheme of the website

• No role at all

• Increases the loading time of the website

In a conflict between an ID selector and a class selector, which one wins?

• The class selector

• The ID selector

• The selector written first

• The selector with the !important modifier

What is the effect of applying the !important modifier to two conflicting rules?

• The website crashes

• The more specific rule wins

• The rule with the !important modifier is applied

• Both rules are ignored
