Add a paragraph tag that has some text inside of it bolded.

I'm stuck on this one. I've used 

 <p><b>This is some bold text.</b></p>

and this.... 

<p><strong>This is some bold text.</strong></p>

What is the correct method for this challenge?

Thank you

I just tried to post the code I used in this topic. I don't see my code that I used to explain my dilemma with HTML mastery question 4.

Okay. First you forgot to close your opening div tag like this <div> second you forgot to close your closing ol tag like this: </ol> and you need to put Shopping List in an <h2></h2> tag.
