Crte a new rule that targets the span element inside .intro. Give the span element a bold font weight and an italic font

.intro, span { .... }

You have to make a new rule.

By using a comma (.intro, span) this will select the intro class AND span elements separately. To do a descendant selector (span elements that are nested inside an element with the intro class) they only need to be separated by a space.
