</head>

The Task itself just asks for the script-Tag. Not a script. Also you forget something at the of the code inside the script-Tag ;)

it's probably just the second script tag. I don't know how exactly test verification works, but it may be finding the other script tag - absent the alert. Even the missing ; didn't seem to matter.
