It looks like your syntax is incorrect. You would want to do this:

p {
  border-width: 4px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: red ;
}

or this...

.main-pg {
  border-width: 4px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: red ;
}

or this...

.main-pg p {
  border-width: 4px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: red ;
}
