<h1>Google</h1><!-- Displays a top-level heading -->
<p>The world's most popular search engine.</p><!-- Provides information about Google -->
<h1>Bing</h1><!-- Displays a top-level heading -->

<h1>Yahoo!</h1><!-- Displays a top-level heading -->
<p>The 2nd largest search engine on the web.</p><!-- Provides information about Yahoo! -->
</article><!-- Ends the article section -->

</html><!-- Ends the HTML document -->

Explanation:

The HTML document begins with a declaration of its type and version (<!DOCTYPE html>).
The <html> element encloses the entire HTML document.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, including the character encoding and the title.
Inside the <body> section, the content of the document is defined.
The <article> element represents an independent piece of content in a document.
Inside the <article> element, there are multiple <h1> (heading) and <p> (paragraph) elements that provide information about different search engines.
Each <h1> represents a top-level heading, and the corresponding <p> element provides information about the search engine mentioned in the heading.
