CSS is made up of different rules.
These rules tell the computer how to style your document. Which elements should get which styles essentially.

This is an example of a rule

here is another rule

a selector is the first part of the rule

in the first example h1 would be the selector

In the second example h2 would be the selector

You can have type selectors like this

you can have class selectors like this

and there are many more that you can read about here

Your issue is here

the lesson wants you to target the anchor element( a)

once you fix that, then it will pass
