All style elements should be outside of the body and, ideally, in the head of the document.

The style element contains stylesheet code. So any css would be written within it. What it's asking you to do is write CSS code that selects the h1 tag and to not forget that all CSS selectors are followed by curly brackets. The curly brackets are what contain the rules for that specific selector.

Example:

/* CSS class selector */
.greenClass {
    color: green;
}

/* CSS id seletor */
#uniqueElement {
    font-weight: bold;
}

/* CSS element selector */
h1 {
    color: red;
}

Put your h1 inside of your style and then put your color within the h1
