Class name you pick need to be inside "" . 

  <body>

    <p class="main-pg"> My amazing website  </p>

  </body>

And class name from your styles.css need to be the same like in your html file .

.main-pg{
  border: 4px dashed Red;
}

Actually, the quotes around the class name are optional (you probably know that from passing task 1), but they are a good idea (a "best practice").
