The Question 4 of 5 ask: /*

  • This question is formatted as a DocBlock.
  • Which character would replace the double question marks (??) in the author tag below? *
  • ??author Alena Holligan */

It seems that actually none of the CHOICES are correct as there is already an * before the two ?? ( * ?? )

Shouldn't the question be written as: SEE the ??author Alena Holligan /*

  • This question is formatted as a DocBlock.
  • Which character would replace the double question marks (??) in the author tag below? * ??author Alena Holligan */

The correct answer is shown at 4:53 in the PHP Comments video.

Note that the answer has to do with marking the author information within the comment, and does not have anything to do with enclosing the comment.
