<h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>

As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

The question only asks you to set the lightblue background to the div element, you seem to have gotten your selector a little confused as you were using "#primary content background div" as your selector all the question was asking for is the selector of "div".
body {
text-align: center;
}
p{
color: lightslategrey;
}
header {
background-color: orange;
color: white;
}
div {
background-color: lightblue;
}
