src="bridge-captions.vtt" <!-- this is where your error occurs -->
Do not use "bridge-captions.vtt", use "bridge.vtt" instead. Simply remove "-captions" as it is not needed in the src.
Here is the full block of code:

<track label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="bridge.vtt">

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsHi Emma,
Look great, you don't need to put spaces inside track
< track label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="bridge-captions.vtt" default >
should be like this without space between.
<track label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="bridge-captions.vtt" default>
Example - @2:35
More details in MDN Documentation

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsOkay, can you try to refresh it again? I have tested as it is passed on my side.

On the <track> element, add a src attribute with the value "bridge.vtt"
Not sure what went wrong, can you try to add "bridge.vtt" under src
<track label="English" kind="subtitles" srclang="en" src="bridge.vtt">
