5,252 Pointsit is needed for you cannot control the list by targeting the ul. .main-nav {} controls the backround behind the list and they want you to put it to a inline-block for it not to fill the entire screen width like a block.
.main-nav li {} Do you use to get the list to lie on a line instead of as a list.
You can make them both to inline-block with less code like this: .main-nav, main-nav li { display: inline-block; }
