css layout techniques code challenge

the second task calls for a clearfix for the main-header element. First I tried putting "group" by "main-header" and that didn't work so I don't understand how to do it

The challenge should be correctly answered by placing group beside main-header. 

 <header class="main-header group">

Make sure you don't have a . before the group.
