Im not sure what this question is asking for me to do?

At first I thought it was asking for me to swap .logo out for .card, then I tried calling both... I am so confused. What makes it even more frustrating is that the solution to this is probably so simple but it is my lack of comprehending this question that is setting me back :'(

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.logo{
  position: absolute;
  top: -45px;
  left: 125px;
}

.card{
  position: absolute;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>CSS Positioning</title>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
        <div class="card">
            <img class="logo" src="city-logo.svg" alt="logo">
            <h2>Best City Guide</h2>
            <p>Cheesecake oat cake marshmallow. Bonbon pastry apple pie danish donut bonbon marshmallow caramels. Bear claw chocolate bar lemon drops. Carrot cake jelly beans jelly beans pie.</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

"The logo's absolute position is relative to the browser viewport. Make .card the new positioning context for .logo." is the question in this challenge. Sorry; should have put this is the description.

You nearly had it. To be a "positioning context" the wrapper needs a declared position type, but it doesn't have to also be absolute. Just a relative position will do.
