How come I continue to get a communication problem when trying to create the html element for the root of html?

How do I complete the challenge if I continue to get a communication problem during step 2 which ask me to create the html element for the root?

Usually the communication error is due to a poor internet connection, possibly after switching between hot spots, or if you are using treehouse on a mobile device it may occasionally timeout on the session after too much idle time has passed.
