The appropriate formats are
if
if - else
if - else if
if - else if - else
You can have as many 'else if' statements as you want/need after an if statement and before an optional else statement. The if statement requires a conditional as do all 'else if' statements, but an else statement will not use a conditional as it is used to cover all other conditions not checked for in a previous if or else if statement. Providing a condition for an else statement will result in an error.
Please review the course lessons.

if (condition) {...}

if (condition) {
...
} else {
...
}

if (condition) {
...
} else if (condition) {
...
}

if (condition) {
...
} else if (condition) {
....
} else {
...
}

Answer 2

else does not take a conditional expression. Remove (abc > 10) or add an if before it.
else will take all cases that have not met one of the previous if or else-if conditions.

Answer 3

No condition is written in else you can use else if for the condition
