I have removed the underline, but I am not sure if I am doing the specific class selector they want. What is it?

I've tried a bunch of different combinations of link and/or a as the name of the css rule but it won't accept any of my

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
style.css

It looks like this question was accidentally posted twice, so this is the answer from the other thread. (Just in case!)

You're on the right track, but pseudo-classes in this case would be selected from the a group. You'll also want to set the text-decoration to none in order to remove the underline style.

/*
:link, a {
  text-decoration: under;
}
*/

a:link {
  text-decoration: none;
}

Keep up the good work!
