To apply both an external script and an inline script in one page, what should she do?

• A. Place inline scripts in the head.
• B. Use separate script elements to call the external script file and to embed a separate script.
• C. Put both scripts in a single script tag.
• D. Use the defer attribute on a single script.

Answer: (B)

When you want both an external script and some inline code on the same page, you should use two separate script elements. One script tag should load the external file with the src attribute, and another script tag should contain the inline code without a src. A script tag that has a src attribute does not execute its inline content, so you can’t put both inside one tag. Using two tags lets you control the order: place the external script first so its functions are available to the inline code that follows. The defer attribute only affects external scripts and won’t help combine inline code with an external file in a single tag, so it’s not a solution here.
