What element represents "standalone sections of content"?

I keep getting this one question wrong. I wrap the sections of code in section tabs but then when I check the work, I get a message saying that, "the sections need to be between the header and footer." Which I thought they were...

What does that mean? Any help?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    </header>

    <section>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </section>

    <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>
    </section>  

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

Your code is okay, but according to this specific challenge, you are only required to put the (h2, p and ul) in a section tag. The header tag should cover (ul, h1 and p).

Thanks Muriuki, thats what I did first off but then added the other section tabs when I kept getting it wrong (then I forgot to remove them before posting this question:D) Although I've just done it, just as I first did it in the quiz and now it says correct! Could it be a bug perhaps?

Thanks again for your help!

The header from task 1 should have a ul, h1, and p element inside of it. The element for task 3 will have an h2, p, and ul in it.

Let me know if this helps here
