CSS text-decoration: none; on line 17. Why was this stated for the anchor tag?

Is this required for styling any or all anchor tags or was this done more to expose us to additional style instructions?

I failed to remember the hyperlink would automatically feature an underline. Thanks for the reply!

Setting text-decoration to 'none' will remove the default underline from the text between the anchor tags. Other options can be : underline, :line-through....etc Is that what you're asking? It is a styling option.
