I didn't fully get the last part, why "every" 4th item needs to be clear of float? Could anyone explain it to me please?

Hi Keivan,

The pictures are set to float left, which means each proceeding images left edge will be on the same line as the element before as long as there is space enough. The design requires only 3 items to be displayed per line in the desktop view, so the 4th item needs to start on a new line. To stop it from floating on the same line as the first 3, you need to clear the float so it doesn't float next to the 3rd item.
