`<givenAnswer>`

A sectional component that renders an expandable block labeled "Answer"

<givenAnswer> is a Sectional component that renders an expandable block labelled “Answer”. It is a sibling of <solution> and behaves the same way — the content is hidden by default and revealed when the learner clicks the heading — but the label says Answer rather than Solution.

Use <givenAnswer> inside a <problem> or <exercise> when you want to provide the final answer separately from a worked solution.
