Anyone know how to solve the previous challenge?

I don't think I fully get the task requirement.

Are we inserting a class, so like "class = 'highlight'", into <button></button>'s previous element which is the <p> </p> so that the result would look like <p class = 'highlight'> </p>?

If I am understanding it correctly, how exactly should I code it using what we've learned so far?

You should set the element property directly.

Once the element has been created, you are no longer concerned with the HTML code used to construct it. At this point, you should only use properties and methods of the element object to add the class to it.
