CSS code challenge, selectors, question 3 of 6: How do you select the em inside the paragraph with a decendant selector?

I assume that you would use:

.p { color: red; }

but how do I specify the "em"?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>CSS Selectors</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="cc1-main-styles.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
</head>
<body>
    <h1><em>Hello</em> World!</h1>
    <div>
        <p>
            <em>Lorem ipsum dolor</em> sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc pulvinar consequat tortor, nec venenatis erat elementum scelerisque. Curabitur sit amet risus nisi. Aenean aliquet euismod augue at viverra. Ut varius arcu in lorem iaculis ullamcorper. Integer eu rutrum quam.
        </p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
