I am truly stuck. What am I missing? :)

Hi there, everyone! I'm hoping that someone out there can help me. I'm desperately in need of a second pair of eyes :eyes: on this. I've run my code through www.sassmeister.com and it outputs what looks to me to be the correct CSS required by the challenge. But I'm either missing something in the challenge specifications, the implementation, or the output. Can anyone see what I'm missing?

Any and all help is thoroughly appreciated! :sparkles:

style.scss 
.base {
  width: 100%;
    &__element {
     background-color: blue;
     &--modifier {
       background-color: orange;
       border-color: red;
    }
  }
}

Hey Jennifer,

The Challenge provided some placeholders that you were supposed to @extend. You can combine these @extends with Nesting and produce the output they want. As in, you don't need to write — or rewrite — any CSS of your own. Let me know if that helps ;)

Just replace the styling with extends.

.base {
  @extend %base;
  &__element {
    @extend %element;
    &--modifier {
      @extend %modifier
    }
  }
}
