Hi Emily Grant

You are on the right track and have isolated the correct lines with the correct tag. However, you only need one set of <section> tags for the task. If you remove the extra two sets of <section> tags the task will pass. The key phase in the instructions state "inside an element" (Singular). So, your opening tag right after the <body> tag is correct and the closing tag right before the <footer> tag is correct... just delete the ones between.

Nice work!
