You need to create a 2nd element:

.intro { font-size: 1.25em; line-height:1.6em; } .intro span { font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;

}

:warning: It's normal for line-height to be expressed as a unitless value.

The CSS is correct.

:point_right: Your CSS is good, but it looks like you added some extra <p> elements to the HTML. Instead of this:

      <p>
       <p class="intro">
       <p> Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in ...
      </p>

You should have this:

      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in ...
      </p>
