I set the font-size to 1rem, but I'm getting the problem wrong. The error message says I've giving the wrong rem size.

link [class:"more"] { font-size: 1rem; }

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Relative Length Units</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cc1-main-styles.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
    <div class="box">
        <h1>Let's use Font-Relative Length Units</h1>
        <p>

            <a class="more" href="#">Read more...</a>
        </p>
    </div>
    </body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Write your CSS code below */

h1 {
  font-size: 40px;
}
p {
  font-size: 1.5em;
}

link[class:"more"] {
  font-size: 1rem;
}

Any particular reason you're using 

link[class:"more"] {
  font-size: 1rem;
}

instead of just 

link.more {
  font-size: 1rem;
}

?

Thanks, that was it. I wasn't connecting the instructions to how to put it in css.
