Before we look at the question you should fix your html We are removing the div text from the paragraph element. While this probably won't actually matter for the example, yet it is good to understand that it doesn't belong there.

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

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

  </body>
</html>

.main-pg {
  border: 4px solid red;
}

The question before this question asked you to create the .main-pg rule in your css. The instructor wants you to see the correlation between the class you added in the first step with the styling you are applying on the third step of this challenge.
