Task 1 says, "Give the paragraph element on line 14 the class intro." This is done to the code in the "index.html" tab.

When you give a class to an HTML element, you add the attribute name "class" to the starting tag along with an equal-sign and the value. For example, take a look at footer element on line 19 which has the class main-footer:

    <footer class="main-footer">

After this task, you'll start writing CSS code on the "style.css" tab for the remaining tasks.
