It doesn’t match anymore, it was capitalised before. You also have removed the full stop at the end of the period…

3

I only did that cause it gave error msg from the beginning after i had added the strong tag to the initial markup,so i tried twerking it a bit

4

i have even reset the code but same problem persists.

Show your new code, let’s see

Welcome China.

Good effort!

The only reason why your line was not approved is because you included the full stop(.) in between the opening and closing strong tag.

Instead of doing this:

<strong>Stanford University.</strong> , which is what you did,

try this instead:

<strong>Stanford University</strong>.

Make sure the closing strong tag, comes before the full stop.

Looks oké, but there is an extra space in there, before <strong>. Maybe that’s causing the error message?

The dot (.) after ‘Stanford University’ should be after the </strong> end tag.
