    </header>
    <p>
      Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

    <a href="#">Find out more</a>
    <div>
      <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
      <p>
        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

If this is one of the code fill-in quizzes, you should use the actual word lightslategrey for color and not the hex #. You can use either one, but the quiz probably wants the word and not the # version.

You just need a semi-colon after the color value.

body { text-align: center; }

p { color: lightslategrey; }
