231,236 PointsThe comma causes ".main-nav" and "li" to be considered as two separate selectors. So this rule applies to any element with the class of "main-nav" and every list item (li) on the page.
But the task is to create a rule that only targets "the list items inside .main-nav
", which can be done with a descendant selector which uses a space instead of a comma.
