A: It is not possible to combine rules in a CSS stylesheet, but you can assign multiple classes to a single HTML element in a space separated list, as below. 

<p class="Opening Classic"> ... </p>

This heading should then be selected by both the following rules and be rendered in a larger cursive font: 

.Opening {
  font-size:        110%;
}

.Classic{
  font-family:      "Apple Chancery",
                    cursive;
}

Multiple class selectors are not supported by the old Netscape 4 Web browser, typically resulting in no relevant styles being applied at all, but all contemporary browsers support this approach reliably.
