yes everything looked good

Please check again.
Your anchor tag is not correct here

5

Take a closer look at your ancor tag
A closed tag implies this

<a href =""></a>
6

i understand but it asks me to only use the anchor element (a) once

7

lets rephrase the statement like so for better understanding

use a full ancor tag once
full meaning an ancor tag with an opening and closing tag

The p opening is for the paragraph, the a opening is for the hyperlink. You need to close with a to finish the hyperlink. Once you finish creating the paragraph you will close with p.
