Can someone help me with my mistake. Group each set of h3 and p elements using an element that describes self-contained

Bummer! Make sure you're placing the first set of h3 and p elements inside an element that describes self-contained pieces of content.

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">

You're on the right track using semantic elements. The instructions state to group each h3-p pair though... think of them as blog posts' previews, each containing the title (h3) and summary (p). There is one HTML tag used for this specific purpose (self-contained piece of content).

The wording for this question is a bit confusing. Basically the key here is the following: "Make sure you're placing the first set of h3 and p elements inside an element that describes...". Now forget the bit about "self-contained pieces of content" and think about what you are looking at. Basically you are presented with article entries. So instead of <div> or <section> tags, you would use <article> tags around the <h3> and <p> tags and their content.
