Hi Donald,

This question confused me, because the html in the question was being rendered instead of being displayed as text. Let's break this down into steps.

  • Open a scope on an ul with the ID menu
ul#menu {  
}
  • Inside that, open a scope on a li element
ul#menu {
  li {
  }
}
  • Using Sass nesting, add a media query so that the <li> elements will have an attribute of text-align: center when the media is screen and the max-width is 500px
ul#menu {
  li {
    /* just like the previous task, add a media query here */
  }
}

Cheers
