Answer 3

Span should be used to decorate inline content, for example, if you want to decorate a word inside a paragraph, you write:

<p> this is a <span class="example">paragraph</span>· </p>

You then use CSS to decorate this word.

Div is used to decorate block elements, for example, if you wanted to decorate two paragraphs, you would write:

<div class="example">
<p> bluh bluh bluh </p>
<p> bluh bluh bluh </p>
</div>
