Your problem is in your <style> tags, you put your class (.smaller-image) into a selector(img.) The problem is that you’re supposed to only target the class .smaller-image. So remove the line img { and add { to the end of the line .smaller-image. To break it down, the correct code would do this:

Select an element, or in this case several elements using the class .smaller-element.
Declare that all elements that are within the class .smaller-element should have a width of 100px.

Your current code does this:

Looks for all elements that classify as type img (not sure if this is a legitimate selector or not, but even if it is it’s not what the lesson is asking for.)
Tries to read the next line .smaller-image but can’t because it’s not a valid line.
Goes to line width: 100px and attempts to change the width of any elements with type img to 100 pixels.
Corrected style sheet

<style>
 .red-text {
    color: red;
  }

  h2 {
    font-family: Lobster, monospace;
  }

  p {
    font-size: 16px;
    font-family: monospace;
  }
  .smaller-image {
    width: 100px;
  }
</style>

I made this way harder than neccasary but basically you just want to have .smaller-image {width: 100px} without img{}
