1

Remember to include the Bootstrap CSS link inside the <head> section.

2
Add three colored boxes inside the container
Inside the <div class="container">, add a <div> with class row. Inside this row, add three <div> elements each with class box and unique background colors: bg-primary, bg-success, and bg-warning. Each box should contain text: Box 1, Box 2, and Box 3 respectively.

Use Bootstrap background color classes like bg-primary and padding classes like p-3 for spacing.

3
Add responsive grid classes for different screen sizes
Add Bootstrap grid classes to each box <div> so that on small screens (sm) each box takes full width (col-12), on medium screens (md) each box takes half width (col-md-6), and on large screens (lg) each box takes one-third width (col-lg-4).

Use multiple Bootstrap grid classes separated by spaces to control layout at different breakpoints.

4
Add a heading and explain why breakpoints matter
Above the row div inside the container, add a <h2> heading with the text Responsive Breakpoints Matter. Below the container, add a <p> paragraph explaining: "Breakpoints let your webpage adapt to different screen sizes, making it look good on phones, tablets, and desktops."
