in the code challenge for value and units, what does it mean check the length unit?

a class="more' { font-size: 1 rem; }

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>
            Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod
            tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,

            <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: 24px;
}

a class:'more' href='#' {

I think the issue you are having is that you are not using the class name to identify the "a" element. first try using

.more {

}

to select the anchor element. rem's are relative units. here is a really good blog about rem units:
