I have used every selector I have learned with no luck

I selected the nav, I have tries using querySelectorAll and adding an additional class to the other anchor tags, I even added a title to nav and tried bracket notation as an arguemnt in querySelectorAll.

js/app.js 
let navigationLinks;
let galleryLinks;
let footerImages;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

Hi actually I don't know what you're trying to do , but this challange solution is ;

let navigationLinks = document.querySelectorAll('nav a');

let galleryLinks = document.querySelectorAll('#gallery a');

let footerImages = document.querySelectorAll('footer img');
