Do you want this filled out using a real practice page, or just a ready-to-use example you can copy? I’ll give a clear, copyable example with tips so you can use it on any site.

Sample answers and how to identify each hyperlink type

1) External Hyperlink 🌐
- Example link text: Google
- Website address: https://www.google.com
- What website does it go to? Google
- Does it leave the current site? Yes
- How to spot it: href points to a different domain (example: https://www.example.com → https://www.google.com). Often opens in a new tab.

2) Internal Hyperlink 🏠
- Example link text: About Us
- Website address: https://www.example.com/about or /about.html
- What page does it open? About Us page (another page on the same site)
- Why is this helpful? Lets visitors move to related content without leaving the site; improves navigation and user experience.

3) Anchor (Jump) Link ⬇️

- Website address: https://www.example.com/page.html#top or just #top
- Where does it jump to? The top (or the element with id="top") of the same page

4) Email Link ✉️

Exit Question — example answer
- Which hyperlink was the easiest to find, and why?
- Example: The external link was easiest because it points to a different website (the domain changes) and often opens in a new tab.
