It looks like your <li> tags are off a bit. Here is the corrected version of what you have.

<section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
        <li> 
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li> 
       <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>

you open and close the first to <li> tags but then the last opening <li> is after the image. Is that the problem you are seeing?

The question just wants you to create an ul with 3 blank li, in the section element, try;

<section> <ul> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li>

</ul>
