Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item.

I am not sure what does the question require ? From what I understand it is asking to add a nested ordered list to "Shapes" list item which is unordered list(ul). The result I receive is such as below , but I am still getting it wrong .

<ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
       <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>
    <ul>

      <li>Shapes</li>
      <ol><li>Shapes</li></ol>
       <li>Colors</li>

    </ul>

Building a nested list is fairly simple. Determine where a nested list should appear, and rather than closing a list item, begin a new list. Once the nested list is complete, close the wrapping list item and continue on with the original list.

<ol>
  <li>Walk the dog</li>
  <li>Fold laundry</li>
  <li>Go to the grocery and buy:
    <ul>
      <li>Milk</li>
      <li>Bread</li>
      <li>Cheese</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Mow the lawn</li>
  <li>Make dinner</li>
</ol>

Sharaj -

Almost, got it! Your ordered list is not nested in your shapes list. You need to nest your ordered list within your shapes list. I highly recommend you re-watch the video because it clearly shows you the right way of nesting your ordered list.
