I have assigned the <span> a class = par1
when I target that class in .css and apply the font weight and style to complete the test the test tells me i have not targeted the <span> properly

You can target an element that is inside another one using a descendant selector. This is just a selector for the container followed by a selector for the target with a space between them.
