Those are the instructions for task 3, but the work that should have been done for task 2 doesn't look right. Task 2 was "Create another fieldset element that wraps the comment field.", but the 2nd fieldset here only encloses a legend (which in itself is correctly added!) and a comment, and neither of those were mentioned in the instructions.

You may want to start over, and be careful to implement just what the instructions call for and nothing extra. Then, when you get back to task 3 it should be pretty simple to just add a legend to the first fieldset.

See the MDN docs on use of the legend element
