Hi, Bryan. I believe you're looking for the section element, instead of selection.

<section>
    <!-- Your code here -->
</section>

Hey! You're close!

They are wanting a section element, not selection element. Your code should be.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<header></header>
<section></section>
<footer></footer>
</body>
</html>
