true or false

Answer 1

False

Answer 2

No, the paragraph tag (and all tags with content) should have a closing tag in all XHTML dialects. They are based on XML, which has more strict requirements than HTML.

Answer 3

True. The paragraph tag is preferred to be used as a self-closing tag, <p />, but it is valid use to separate the starting and closing tags of a paragraph element, <p></p>.
