Assessment for Migra's Canadian Export Guide by St. Clair - Module 3: Interface Structure

Submitted by kdaigneau@stcl… on
Can the purpose of each link be determined from the link text, or from the link text together with its surrounding context?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: You can always understand what each link does just by reading the link text or looking at its surrounding context, as demonstrated in the accompanying image.
Example: See attached image.

However, there were some examples where there was an illusion of a link, but it was not a link. This example is located in the Commercial Invoices section of the Export Guide, United States of America (see also information under: CERTIFICATES OF ORIGIN - USMCA certification).
