Standalone <dt> or <dd> elements lose their semantic meaning and fail to provide the context needed for assistive technologies to link terms with definitions.
Locate any <dt> or <dd> elements that are not children of a <dl> element.
Wrap orphaned <dt> and <dd> elements in a parent <dl> container.
Explain why <dt> and <dd> must be contained within a <dl> for correct semantic association.
Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Wrap definition items in a definition list. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
