I am certain that my answer is correct however it is not accepting

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media screen and (min-width: 421px) {
  header {
    background-color: #294969;
    color: ghostwhite;
  }

@media screen and (min-width:769px){ 
#logo { font-size: 1.4rem; }

      <h1>The verdict is in. CSS Layout is great!</h1>
      <p>I’ve been working with CSS for a while now, and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome. I love being able to separate content from presentation, and to keep all my styles in an external stylesheet.</p>
      <p>I’ve had a pretty good grasp on the basics for a while now, but I needed to learn more about how to control layout with my CSS. Understanding CSS layout meant first exploring the parts of the CSS box model.</p>

      <h2>The CSS Box Model</h2>
      <p>There are lots of great resources online to help you learn the CSS Box Model. I like the CSS Tricks article <a href="https://css-tricks.com/the-css-box-model/" target="_blank">The CSS Box Model</a> by Chris Coyier. To quote the author:</p>
      <blockquote>At the risk of over-repeating myself: <strong>every element in web design is a rectangular box.</strong></blockquote>
      <p>That’s right! Every HTML element is considered by the browser to be a rectangular box.</p>
      <p>The CSS Box Model consists of four properties: content, padding, border, and margin. I've included a graphic from Coyier’s article to illustrate this principle.</p>
      <p class="clear">It’s pretty easy to understand the Content portion of the box model. The content is whatever your HTML consists of. It could be a paragraph full of text, or a bulleted list, or an image.</p>
      <p>Beginning developers may have some trouble keeping the other parts of the box model straight, so let’s examine them one by one.</p>

Hi there, Sharthak Rai! You are incredibly close, but it's not quite correct yet. Namely, you're missing a closing curly brace on the first media query. The way it is right now, it thinks the second media query is defined inside the first.

You have this:

@media screen and (min-width: 421px) { /* starts media query */
  header { /* starts header rule */
    background-color: #294969;
    color: ghostwhite;
  } /* ends header rule */

You ended the rule for the header but didn't end the media query. You need one more closing curly brace at the end there to close off the media query.

@media screen and (min-width: 421px) { /* starts media query */
  header { /* starts header rule */
    background-color: #294969;
    color: ghostwhite;
  } /* ends header rule */
} /* ends media query */

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
