By logic your answer is correct. But to pass the treehouse quiz you will need to do only what's been asked for
So there is no need to add the head and body tags for this particular questions
Just simply
<!DOCTYPE html> <!-- Question 1 -->
<html>
<!-- Thats it. Just the html tag without the body and head -->
</html>

103 PointsThanks Gunjeet! Thought I'd tried that answer, but I guess not.

103 PointsNo, that was the answer to the first question. I need the second question. "Create the HTML element that will serve as the document root." Can anyone please help! I've been stuck on this for days now. Thank you.

8,186 PointsIt looks like your opening and closing tags are backwards. The </html> needs to be at the end. So, <html> opens your HTML code, and your </html> closes it. The / signifies to the computer that it's the end of the element that you've opened.
