The key instruction is this:

changes … for the body element.

You must create a body selector by its own.

Hello.
You are not supposed to group your body selector. Reset your code. Then after your h1, h2, p add another selector called body with the property of background-color with the value set to brown

5

isn’t this the body selector?

6

Yes and you should add { } which will contain your styling.

Yes, but the change is supposed to happen only for the body. When you place it together with the other selectors, everything gets the settings.
