Hi Angelica!

They are asking you to make a string using template literal syntax.

Template literals need to be surrounded by backticks and usually contain variables inside ${ } like this:

${variable}

This challenge just omits the variables and the full string would be:

const headline = `<h1>A Literal Headline</h1>`;

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
