CSS CSS Basics (2014) Understanding Values and Units Styling the Intro Paragraph

I coded challenge task 4 of 5 correctly (I believe, and it achieves the intended purpose) but it still gives me an error

I was tasked with targeting the span within the into class, and making the font bold and italic. I did those things, but it still gives me an error and suggests that I'm targeting the incorrect span? It won't let me advance....

Sorry, thought I'd included it when I submitted. I've tried the span element as both a class and an ID, and both got rejected. Is there another way to specify that specific span that I'm forgetting about? Thanks for taking a look!

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span id="div-span">breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

And CSS

.intro {
    font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6;
}

#div-span {
    font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}

So you're really close. You dont have to add an id to span tag.

.intro span - literally means target all paragraphs(CHILD) inside the paragraph(PARENT) with the class of "intro".

hope that helps

.intro span {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;

}
