Hi Jeremiah Manalo ,

The three questions for this task are asking you to select descendant elements. To do this you first need to use a CSS selector then the descendent elements e.g. img or a tags.

// Select Nav then all anchor elements
let navigationLinks = document.querySelectorAll("nav a");
// Select Gallery then all anchor elements
let galleryLinks = document.querySelectorAll("#gallery a");
// Select Footer then all image elements
let footerImages = document.querySelectorAll("footer img");
