Assuming you're doing this code challenge that follows the video you linked this question to, it doesn't look like you've made any changes yet. But the very first task is to "Place the ul, h1 and p elements at the top of the page inside an element that represents a group of introductory content."

So you'll need to enclose those 3 items inside a new semantic element, specifically the one "that represents a group of introductory content" which is the description of the <header> element.

And when posting code, always use Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance and retain special symbols.

i know the task but when i put correct answer it gives me "bummer"

<div class="introductory-content"> <ul> <li>Intro Item 1</li> <li>Intro Item 2</li> <li>Intro Item 3</li> </ul> <h1>Welcome to Our Website</h1> <p>This is the introductory paragraph that provides information about your website.</p> </div>

That encloses the group, but not with the correct element.

As I said in my answer, the semantic element "that represents a group of introductory content" is the <header> element (and not <div class="introductory-content">).
