Can a contain elements? Can an contain elements? Provide usage examples.
The answer to both questions is yes; i.e., a can contain elements, and an can contain elements.

Describe the relationship between the and <h1> tags in HTML5.</h1>
In previous specifications of HTML, only one <h1> element was typically present on a page, used for the heading of the entire page. HTML5 specifies that <h1> represents the top-level heading of a “section”, whether that be the page , or an or element. In fact, every element should at least contain an <h1> element. If there is no natural heading for the section, it is a good indication it should not use an or tag.
