Try adding the ordered list inside the "Shapes" list item tag.

Hey Wajeeh Hassan Qureshi !!

I don't understand, Just did what you said and it works perfectly. if we use both methods (options 1 - as done by me and option 2 which you have suggested ) the result is the same on the browser.

so why dint the code challenge accept my option 1 ?

Option 1)

'' <ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ol>
<li>Colors</li> </ul>
</body> ''

Option 2)

'' <ul> <li>Shapes <ol> <li>Stop</li> <li>Drop</li> <li>Roll</li> </li> </ol> <li>Colors</li> </ul> </body> ''

Well that's because, they're asking you to add the ordered list inside the actual li tag, in other words the Shapes item will have an ordered list of its own. The reason why yours didin't work because you placed it as a separate list outside of the list element, which means that it is not related to/ embedded in the "SHapes" list item.
