The challenge is about putting elements inside of relevant elements to structure the page. What do I mean by this? For example, for the first challenge, you have to put some elements inside of an element that represents a group of introductory content. An element that represents a group of introductory content is the header element. This is why in the code below I have surrounded these elements with <header></header>. The code below also has the elements for the other parts of the challenge for you to look at.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
        </ul>
      </nav>
      <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
      <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </header>

    <section>
      <h2>Welcome</h2> 
      <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
      </ul>
    </section>

    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
      <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
    </footer>

It would help if you include more context about the challenge in later questions (such as what the challenge is even asking)

It's saying to take the content on the top of the page (in this case, immediately after the <body> tag and until after the <p> tag) and surround it with a tag to group it as intro content

(The <header> tag that was shown two videos before this challenge)

I also struggled with this challenge a little bit back when I had to do it. It says "Place the ul, h1 and p elements at the top of the page inside an element that represents a group of introductory content." so from that they expect you to surround the ul, h1, and p elements at the top of the page with a header element.
