Answer 1

<?php
  $recent = new WP_Query( array(
    'posts_per_page' => 5,
    'order' => 'DESC',
  ) );

  if ( $recent->have_posts() ) : while ( $recent->have_posts() ) : $recent->the_post(); ?>

      <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

      <?php

      the_excerpt();

      endwhile;
    endif;
  wp_reset_postdata();
?>
