2. How do you change an ordered list to descending order?

` (ordered list) element. The `reversed` attribute is a boolean attribute, which means it does not require a value to be set. Simply including the word `reversed` within the `
1. ` tag is enough to indicate that the list should be in descending order.
4. Here's how you can use it:
7. ```html
8. 2. Item 1 (this will be the last)
  4. Item 2
  6. Item 3 (this will be the first)
10. ```
13. In the options you've provided, the correct way to make an ordered list display in descending order is:
16. ```html
17. 2. ```
  5. Let's take a look at why the other options are incorrect:
  8. - `
    1. `: While this might seem correct as `true` is commonly used to set boolean attributes to true, the `reversed` attribute does not need any value, and including one does not conform to the HTML5 specification.
    3. - `
      1. `: The `type` attribute is used to define the kind of marker to use in the list, such as `a` for lowercase letters, `A` for uppercase letters, `i` for lowercase roman numerals, and `I` for uppercase roman numerals. It does not control the ordering of the list items.
      3. - `
        `: The `style` attribute is used for inline CSS styling and does not have any impact on the order of the list items.
        
        - `
        `: Similar to the first option, the `reversed` attribute does not require a value, even though in this case, the value is the same as the attribute name.
        
        So, the correct HTML for an ordered list in descending order is simply:
        
```html

```
