1.  

Exercise 1 solution

e. None of the above. xls:text is a data retrieval element, dumping text into the output.

2.  

Exercise 2 solution

c, d, and e are all correct. For a and b, the operative term is eXtensible, and not eXtendable. The word extendable means to stretch, make larger, or even richer and more comprehensive. XML is not quite an expanded form of HTML, but rather a modification of HTML with specialized features. Thus the word extensible as opposed to extendable applies to the difference between HTML and XML.

Exercise 3 solution

a, c, d, e, and f are all correct. b. xls:foreach is incorrect because the for loop element is xls:for-each (hyphenated).
