}

5. How do you align images side-by-side using CSS?

To align images side-by-side using CSS, you can use the display: inline-block property on the images. For example:

  display: inline-block;
  /* Optional: set a margin between the images */
  margin-right: 10px;
}

6. How do you set a background image in CSS?

This will clip the image to a 100x100 pixel square starting from the top-left corner.

8. How do you add a hover effect to an image using CSS?

To add a hover effect to an image using CSS, you can use the :hover pseudo-class. For example:

  /* Set the state of the image when hovering over it */
  opacity: 1;
}

9. How do you control the spacing between images using CSS?

  100% { opacity: 1; }
}

img {
  /* Set the initial state of the images */
