CSS precedence order? My lecture slides are correct or not?

Answer 1

• The properties by <style></style> are being reassigned by the selector in linked.css.
• There is no element with id="div" for imported.css.

Answer 2

First, with imported stylesheets they mean stylesheets embedded using the @import rule.

Second, a few lines below that explanation in the CSS 2.1 spec there's an explanation of the cascading order. Other parts of the spec might be useful for your exam, too. Good luck.
