In the portion of the How to Make a Website I'm having issue understanding what the question is asking me to do where it says "Add CSS that will allow all images to fill their parent element."

In your css file you would write img{ max-width:100%;}
if the image was in a div tag at 450px the image would only go 450px wide.
