Block element that doesn´t take up a full line_task 2

In the task one I set up the display value that generates a block element that flows with surrounding content, and my answer was correct. When I am trying to submit the answer to the second task I get an error: "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing." I am stuck on this challenge. What am I doing wrong?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

header {
  text-align: center;
}
.logo {
  width: 110px;
  margin: auto;
}

.main-nav li {
   padding: 10px 15px;
display: block;
}

Task 1 asks you to target the <li> elements inside main-nav, and task 2 asks you to apply the exact same rule to the <ul> that contains them.

The cleanest way to do this is to use multiple selectors separated by a comma:

.main-nav, .main-nav li {
     /* your code here */
}
