2.) People who have visual impairments are able to interpret websites by using physical screen magnifiers and/or screen reader softwares that read digital text aloud.
3.) Semantic HTML makes websites more accessible by being better on mobile devices (easier to make responsive) and good on search engines (more findable by customers).
4.) Some practices to avoid when writing HTML are using longer text versions with a screen reader, using unclear language with things like dashes and abbreviations, making complex page layouts, and replacing regular UI controls with strange button-coding.
5.) A tab index is an attribute that is intended to allow tabbable coding elements to have a custom order numerically. There are two tab indexes: tabindex=“0” (allows elements that are not tabbable to become tabbable), and tabindex="-1" (allows abnormally tabbable elements to receive programmable focus from software like JavaScript).
