Not sure how to add two more calls to the Html.RadioButtonFor HTML helper method

Having trouble with this challenge. In the video he removes the textboxfor and replaces it with the new @Html.RadioButtonFor, so I did that eveywhere I saw textboxfor. Instead of intensity I used severity (major and critical)

Report.cshtml 
@model IssueReporter.Models.Issue
@using IssueReporter.Models

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Report an Issue";
}

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name)
        @Html.RadioButtonFor (m=> m.Severity "Major")
      @Html.RadioButtonFor (m=> m.Severity "Critical")
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
        @Html.RadioButtonFor (m=> m.Severity "Major")
      @Html.RadioButtonFor (m=> m.Severity "Critical")
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DepartmentId)
        @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.DepartmentId, (SelectList)ViewBag.DepartmentsSelectListItems)
    </div>

public enum SeverityLevel
{
Major,
Critical
}


    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Severity)
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity, 
            Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Reproducible)
        @Html.RadioButtonFor (m=> m.Severity "Major")
      @Html.RadioButtonFor (m=> m.Severity "Critical")
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
        @Html.RadioButtonFor (m=> m.Severity "Major")
      @Html.RadioButtonFor (m=> m.Severity "Critical")
    </div>

    <button type="submit">Save</button>
}

Original code

@model IssueReporter.Models.Issue @using IssueReporter.Models

@{ ViewBag.Title = "Report an Issue"; }

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm()) { <div> @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name) @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name) </div>

<div>
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Email)
</div>

<div>
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DepartmentId)
    @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.DepartmentId, (SelectList)ViewBag.DepartmentsSelectListItems)
</div>

<div>
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Severity)
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity, 
        Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor
</div>

<div>
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Reproducible)
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Reproducible)
</div>

<div>
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
    @Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
</div>

<button type="submit">Save</button>

}

It's important to read the challenge instructions carefully. The instructions say to add only two more calls. And the word "more" gives you a clue that you will be adding them in the "Severity" section, where one radio button already is.

And you'll be adding new code, you won't remove or replace anything provided to start with.
