The challenge asks: "Use a nested selector to say all <a> tags within <p> tags are red."

Nesting is simply enclosing one selector inside another. So in this case it would be:

p { a { color: red; }}

Which, when compiled into plain CSS, becomes:

p a {
  color: red;
}

Not getting the solution for 4th challenge: We want to add an exception for <a> tags that are in the <div> with a class of .footer: those links should be purple. Use the post-selector ampersand to achieve this.

and my code snippet for the remaining 3 are:

1st challenge. */ p { a { color: red; } } / 2nd challenge. */ p {

a { color: blue; /* 3rd challenge. */ &:hover{ opacity: 0.5; } } }

for the 4th challenge im not able to complete the challenge?. Note: seems treehouse not adding the code once we click on 'Get Help' button.
