“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.”

Use the id selector to select thumbnail and add the box shadow

So as you see in your style they have class selectors. Class selectors start with a .

But id selectors start with a #. Notice how the first div has a class and a id set to it? You want to select that id. So in your style tag

#thumbnail{
//add box shadow here
}
