I feel really dumb because I cannot think of how to solve this at all. Could someone steer me in the right direction?

A hint would be appreciated, but a video link/timestamp of where I can go to refresh on this info would be appreciated too!

app.js 
let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];

section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
  e.target.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)';
});
