Not sure what you mean. This code passes both tasks once the media queries are closed.

Both media queries are missing their ending braces.

@media  (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header  {background-color: tomato; color: white}
}                                                       /* brace was missing */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title{ font-size:  1.4rem;}   h1 {font-size: 5rem;}
}                                                       /* brace was missing */
