The objective of this technique is to describe the purpose of a link in a nested list from the context provided by the list item under which the list is nested. This list item provides context for an otherwise unclear link. The description lets a user distinguish this link from links in the Web page that lead to other destinations and helps the user determine whether to follow the link.
Note: Whenever possible, provide link text that identifies the purpose of the link without needing additional context.

For each link in the content that uses this technique:
Find the ul
or ol element that contains the link

Check that the text of the link combined with the text of that li element describes the purpose of the link.
The above checks are true.
