In CSS, tag names are used without the angle brackets.

When creating a selector using tag names, you use only the name and not the form that would appear in the HTML document.

You know what property and value to put inside your rule, right? If not, here's a hint: the property/value pair you need is already being used by the "clearfix" rule that was provided.
