Create a new rule that targets the first 4 list items only. Set the font weight to bold.

li:nth-child-first (4) { font-weight: bold; }

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Structural Pseudo-classes</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cc1-main-style.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <ul>
        <li>List item 1</li>
        <li>List item 2</li>
        <li>List item 3</li>
        <li>List item 4</li>
        <li>List item 5</li>
        <li>List item 6</li>
        <li>List item 7</li>
    </ul>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Write your CSS below */

Here you go:

/* Write your CSS below */
li:nth-child(even) {
  background-color: black;
  color: white;
}

li:nth-child(3n) {
  background-color: #FF6347;
}

li:nth-child(-n+4) {
  font-weight: bold;
}
