I've wrapped the HTML Basics in italics tags. Why isn't it correct?

How do I go about adding emphasis other than using the <i></i> tag to make it italics?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Text</title>
  </head>
  <body>

<em> adds emphasis while also italicizing the text. The MDN page discusses the difference between <i> and <em> in the usage notes.
