I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (``) to add backticks around text.
See [this post](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/forum-code-formatting/25574) to find the backtick on your keyboard.
**Note:** Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

In the initial code, the comment tags are being used differently that you are using them
```auto
```
The comment tags are on the first and last lines. You need to add additional comment tags so that only your h1 and p elements are commented out.

There is an example of using the comment tags in the starter code. What part can I clarify?
The comment tags are ``.

As i understand from the problem statement in the link given, you have to comment out h1 and p element but not h2.
Hence you should place the code inside comment out signs as under

Hope it solves your problem
