Adewuyi,

The challenge asks you to create a new rule for the span element inside the .intro paragraph. You have changed the original rule rather than adding a second rule.

You want:

/* original rule */
.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em; /* 20px / 16px */
  line-height: 1.6;
}

/* new rule */
.intro span {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}
