Hey ARLINDA BRAHIMI , you are using <i> tag to emphasize the content , which is incorrect.
<i> is for italicizing the word while <em> is for emphasize .
While both are typically (but not always) styled to display as italic, <em> is used when you want to put more stress on a word or phrase. <i> would be used when you don’t need to stress a word or phrase, but do want it to be different from the words around it,
Now as it been instructed in the question to give emphasis to the word , so use emphasize and you will be get the way
Here is the code: 

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Text</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Mike's favorite course is <em>HTML Basics</em></p>
