Hey Allison,

Did you remember to add the alt attribute? Your code should look something like this:

<img src="img/star.svg" alt="Gold Star">

If the image is inside the img folder, you have to be sure to include the file path to access the image itself (which is img/[name of your image]). It's best practice to include the alt attribute for folks with screen readers and visual impairments. Hope that helps!

There is no image in the Star Exampl<p>of the html sample of the quiz. And there is no width and height measurements to reference for the star image<img>. So how can someone attribute the .svg without the property needed to place in the HTML document.
