I think using the image here will help you understand where you went wrong.

Do you see the example in the screenshot? <div class="animal dog">
This example shows you how to set more than one class value for an element. ( in this case we say that the div is of class animal and of class dog).

Then in the same screenshot the instructions say to add a class one
Look at how it is coloured? This should tell you that you need this word one in your code.

hope this helps you see what you did wrong

You can only have one class attribute on a tag. So all class names need to be added to the same class attribute. Look at the example in the instructions for how to add multiple class names to an element.

Also, they are asking you to add the class name one, not the number 1.

thanks. i did it and it worked
