Confusing instruction in accessibility quiz step — says "nest" sections but expects siblings #61224

Describe the Issue

Step 14
In the “Accessibility Quiz” project, one step says:
“Within the main element, create a form with three nested section elements. Then, make the form submit to"
This strongly implies that the three

elements should be nested inside each other. But the test only passes if the sections are siblings, directly inside the form element — not nested inside one another.

This caused a lot of confusion and wasted time because the wording doesn't match the actual requirement.

Suggested fix:
Change the instruction to say:
“Within the main element, create a form containing three section elements.”
or
“Place three section elements inside your form element.”

This would prevent misunderstanding and better match the test logic.

    </section>
     <section>
     <!-- Third section --> 
    </section>
   </form> 
</main>
</pre>

Expected behavior

I expected that nesting three

elements inside each other within the —as the instructions describe—would pass the test.

Since the step says to “nest three section elements within your form element,” I assumed that meant:
