Challenge task #4: Why are the <nav></nav> tags around the <ul> elements not correct?

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here!

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
     <h1><h1>  
      <ul>
       <p></p>
     </ul>
   </header>

  <section>
    <nav>
     <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
   </nav>

    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>

    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
   </section>

   <footer>
    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>

I think this is a case of the checker passing tasks when it shouldn't have. It may be easier if you start over.

task 1) You have added additional tags. You should just enclose the ul, h1 and p that are given

task 2) looks good

task 3) Just enclose the given h2, p and ul below the header

task 4) looks good without those additional tags
