You are asked to "Select the list items nested inside the gallery".

To select list items, we use the li selector:

li {

}

Which refers to the li html element:

<ul>
  <li>List item 1</li>
  <li>List item 2</li>
</ul>

To select list items, inside an element with an id of gallery:

#gallery li {

}

CSS doesn't recognize 'list' as a valid keyword, because 'list' is not an html element. So using #gallery list as your selector won't work.

Hope this helps :)
