Place the ul,h1 and p elements at the top of the page inside an element that represents a group of introductory group.

What does that mean, I don't understand. And the error is "Make sure you are including an element that represents a group of introductory content"..... Which element represents a group of introductory content???

The task is a bit misleading, I empathize with you.

So a group here is a tag/element that will hold elements within them.

Common groups: div, header, span, footer, ul, ol, etc.

We can use process of elimination to find the correct grouping element.

Do we need a div? A div would be great, it's navigable, generic, easy to manipulate, but the text reads "introductory" so I don't think that is the right one.

Do we need a header? A header is like a div, and its semantic name tells us that it should precede the content of the page, I think that would fit the text requirements "introductory"

Span? I don't think so. Footer? Not really "introductory"... ul/ol? We already have one, and the elements we need to group wouldn't mesh well if it was inside a list

So, we should wrap the h1, ul, and p inside of a <header></header> element
