It looks like an <h1> made its way inside the parent body. Now our :nth-child selector no longer targets the desired com What is the correct code to write down? I'm confused. Can anyone give me the codes please?

style.css
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {

Here's a hint: the pseudo-class you need here is one that only considers elements of the same type.


But if you really want a spoiler...
"the pseudo-class that only targets a specific type of child element" is named:   nth-of-type.

I type nth-of-type and it did not work #HELP!

It works now Mr Parker. Thanks.

mo ode — Good deal. You can mark a question solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy learning!

Can you please give me the codes not the hints. When I see the codes then I will understand. Thanks.

Learning how to use references to find info you need is an important skill that you will use frequently as a developer. But if you're not ready to work on that just yet, I've added a spoiler to my answer.
