Link to the challenge:

let’s see. Instructions say:

The element now has an id of thumbnail. With this selector, use the example CSS values above to place a box-shadow on the card.

ok, so we know that the element we are adding a style for has an id attribute that is set to ‘thumbnail’ so we need a css selector that starts like this #thumbnail {

Next we need to follow the given example which is shown as:

box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.19), 0 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.23);

so we can cut and paste that line directly into the new #thumbnail style .

I hope this helps.
