I've used the nav and section elements in my answer and a combination of the two. What is the correct answer?

Is there a solid rule to go by when applying these two elements and the element aside?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    </nav>

    <section>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1>
    </section> 

    <section>
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </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>

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

An h1 is not the same as a header. It should look like so:

    <header>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
      </ul>
      <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
      <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </header>

Thanks a lot for your help. I would have never figured that out alone. I had something completely different in mind when I read the question. Your answer put me on the right track. The rest of the challenge was a piece of cake once you pointed me in the right direction.

I tried your suggestion and used h1, then h2 and finally h3 header tags to wrap the content. The answer was labeled wrong each time.
