Which of the following statements is true?

Select all that apply.
1) Hypertexts are the same as hyperlinks.
2) Hypertexts contain hyperlinks.
3) Hyperlinks are a kind of labyrinth.
4) Hyperlinks connect web pages

Answer 1

Since everybody keeps saying the wrong answer for this question, I will tell the right answers, which are 2. Hypertexts contain hyperlinks and 4. Hyperlinks connect web pages

Answer 2

The correct answers are: 2) Hypertexts contain hyperlinks. 3) Hyperlinks are a kind of labyrinth.

Indeed, Hypertexts are texts that contain hyperlinks. Hyperlinks are nexus to data which is located elsewhere in the same text or in a completely different document. Hyperlinks can become very labyrinthine, used to create very complex mesh structures of web pages and nexuses to other websites.

The issue with definition 3 is that although it applies to certain types of hyperlinks it does not apply to links that actually direct the user to a different location within the same web page.
