Crucially, it targets the correct `p` elements for the answer keys, addressing the previous issue. The function now handles two exercises.Placeholder Text:Added placeholders for inputs/textarea for a better user experience.Clearer Instructions: Instructions are now more explicit about what the user should do.Correct Answer Handling (Placeholder): The answer key is now completely hidden initially, requiring the user to click the button to revealit.
