Explanation:

The “.carousel slide” class is used to create a carousel slider. To create a text in the center, the “.caraouse-inner text-center” class is used. Next, <blockquote> is used to specify the section that is quoted. Here, it is used to quote the clients’ testimonials. The client’s testimonial is then entered. This is repeated until you have added enough number of testimonials.
