http://study.com/academy/lesson/root-cap-function-definition-quiz.html)
2. Use the page inspector tool and select the "Lesson Transcript" text. Confirm that in the Elements tab of the dev tools,
the line "<span>Lesson Transcript</span>" is highlighted (should be under a div that has the id "transcriptHeader")
3. Hit the dropdown triangles of "<div class="transcriptContainer articleContent" data-cname="main_content>" and
<div id="mainArticle" class="transcript" data-cname="lesson_transcript"> (the latter should appear after the contents of
