I don't get what this question is asking me in the first challenge under "make a css image gallery"....

what parent is it referring to? I can't see my html file to edit or check parents, etc.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 5%;
  max-width: 20%;
}

You don't need to see the HTML. The challenge requires to set a CSS property on all the img tags so that they fill their parents no matter what those parent elements happen to be. So, if you have a rule like the following:

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

you will achieve the desired result and pass the challenge. The rule is generic in the sense that I don't care what the parent of the img tag is; just stretch the image to fill it.

Thanks :), I think I understand that logic now.
