This question is really frustrating me. How am I messing this up?

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. My eyes can't stare at this question any longer.

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>

      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
style.css 
.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6;
}

.intro span {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}

There needs to be a closing paragraph carrot at intro paragraph tag ">" and the CSS should look like:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.intro{
 font-size: 1.25em ;
 line-height: 1.6
}

.intro span{
 font-weight: bold;
 font-style: italic
}

a{
 text-decoration: none; 
}
