**Overview**

The provided benchmark compares the execution performance of vanilla JavaScript (Vanilla JS) and jQuery in various scenarios.

**Benchmark Definition JSON**

The `Script Preparation Code` specifies that jQuery 3.6.0 is included in the HTML file, while the `Html Preparation Code` sets up two identical elements with classes and IDs for testing.

**Individual Test Cases**

Each test case defines a different scenario to compare Vanilla JS and jQuery:

1. **Vanilla JS ID test**: Verifies if jQuery's `document.querySelector('#test')` can add a class (`'fuck'`) to an element identified by its ID.
2. **Vanilla JS Class test**: Checks if jQuery's `document.querySelector('.test')` can add a class (`'fuck'`) to an element identified by its class name.
3. **jQuery ID Test**: Verifies if Vanilla JS's equivalent `document.querySelector('#test')` can add a class (`'fuck'`) to an element identified by its ID (in this case, jQuery is forced into Vanilla JS mode).
4. **jQuery Class Test**: Similar to the previous test, but with a class name instead of an ID.

**Options Compared**

The main options being compared are:

* Using jQuery's `document.querySelector()` method
* Using vanilla JavaScript's equivalent methods (`document.getElementById()`, `document.getElementsByClassName()`)
