Javascript – My if else statement only behaves as though the condition is true. Even if it is entered incorrectly

Good day!

I am taking the javascript basics course on treehouse. I am brand new to this learning processes.

I have included all of my javascript code and the directions at the bottom. I am making a basic quiz acrewing the correct number of answers and awarding a "crown" at the end that indicates the level of success.

Since starting this course I have went back and taken the html and css course. I will do things differently in the future. But I have spend so much time on this project I NEED to make it work.

Thank you for your time.

My intention is to utilize the else if statement to determine the response according to how many questions are correct. I have started by just trying to utilize the if else statement for the first part of the solution and I can not get the condition to state the false response. I figured after I get this correct I can create the else if statements.

const me = prompt('n What is your name?n');

const greating = alert(`n Good day ${me}! nnThis is a quiz about Apis mellifera.  Increase your rank by answering correctly.`);

let record = 0;

alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record}`);


const one = prompt('n 1. Apis mellifera is the scientific name for what non-native insect?n');
if (one.toUpperCase() === 'european honeybee'.toUpperCase() || one.toUpperCase() === 'honeybee'.toUpperCase() 
|| one.toUpperCase() === 'bee'.toUpperCase() || one.toUpperCase() === 'european honey bee'.toUpperCase() 
|| one.toUpperCase() === 'honey bee'.toUpperCase()) 

{ alert('n That is correct!!')
  alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 1}`)
} 
  else alert('n This is NOT correct.')
{ alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 0}`)
}

const two = prompt('n 2. Name one of the three types of adult European honeybees in a colony?n');
if (two.toUpperCase() === 'queen'.toUpperCase() || two.toUpperCase() === 'queens'.toUpperCase() ||
    two.toUpperCase() === 'drone'.toUpperCase() || two.toUpperCase() === 'drones'.toUpperCase() ||
    two.toUpperCase() === 'worker'.toUpperCase() || two.toUpperCase() === 'workers'.toUpperCase()) 
{ alert('n That is correct!!')
  alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 1}`)
}
  else alert('n This is NOT correct.')
{ alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 0}`)
}

const three = prompt('n 3. How does the queen communicate with her colony?n');
if (three.toUpperCase() === 'pheromones'.toUpperCase() || three.toUpperCase() === 'scent'.toUpperCase() ||
    three.toUpperCase() === 'chemicals'.toUpperCase() || three.toUpperCase() === 'her musk'.toUpperCase()) 
{ alert('n That is correct!!')
  alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 1}`)
} 
  else alert('n This is NOT correct.')
{ alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 0}`)
}

const four = prompt('n 4. How do worker bees tell other workers where to find food sources?n');
if (four.toUpperCase() === 'waggle dance'.toUpperCase() || four.toUpperCase() === 'dance'.toUpperCase() ||
    four.toUpperCase() === 'dancing'.toUpperCase() || four.toUpperCase() === 'wiggling her tukas'.toUpperCase()) 
{ alert('n That is correct!!')
  alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 1}`)
} 
  else alert('n This is NOT correct.')
{ alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 0}`)
}

const five = prompt('n 5. What is the name of the mite that is desicrating the Apis mellifera population?n');
if (five.toUpperCase() === 'Veroa destructor'.toUpperCase() || five.toUpperCase() === 'Veroa'.toUpperCase() ||
    five.toUpperCase() === 'blood sucking, virus carrying bastards'.toUpperCase()) 
{ alert('n That is correct!!')
  alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 1}`)
} 
  else alert('n This is NOT correct.')
{ alert(`n Correct Answers: ${record += 0}`)
}

alert(`n Total Correct Answers: ${record}`)

if (`${record} == 5`)
 { alert('n Congratulations!  You got them all right.  You award is the gold crown. You are the Queen Bee!')
 } else
 { alert('n The bees need you to do better.')
 }

I saw some people put semicolons in their if else and else if statements. I tried that.

I tried researching the internet for solutions. I think maybe I don’t know the correct questions to ask.

I honestly don’t remember what all I’ve tried. I wanted to figure it out on my own but have waisted so much time on it I figured it was time to reach out for help.

I have tried to review the previous questions to see if they are applicable to me…but I am to ignorant to know if they are the same as my situaiton.

I have no doubt the answer is going to be foolishly simple. Thank you for your time.
