Why no error?

#1

So I just did the following:

<body>
  <p>"Life is very short and what we have to do must be done in the now." - Audre Lorde</p>
  <p>thats is a nice qoute</p>
</body>
<p> oh wow</p>

I used another opening and closing tag after the closing body tag

Why did it not show an error after running?

The “oh wow” message still showed when I ran it?

I added <body> to my page as instructed but I am not passing step one. Why?

HTML is non-verbose, which is why we depend upon validators and linters to catch errors or omissions.
