Make sure you're selecting the `intro` class, and setting an em font-size value equal to 20px.

<p class="intro"> .intro { font-size: 1.25em;/20px/16px/ }

Also <style>.intro</style

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body {
 font-size: 16px;
}
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
         .intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;/*20px/16px*/
}
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

How to select the "intro" class.

.intro does not work? Also tried to define it with <style></style> ?

Hi Diana! So I think with this exercise you are very close, but you put the CSS style in the html instead of in your style.css file. So in style.css is where you want to put:

.intro { font-size: 1.25em; /20px/16px/ }

You can leave the html just as it is <p class="intro">

Hope that helps!
