I know that document.getElementsByTagName returns an HTML collection to the body variable listed. I put 'body' as the tag to grab, but it is saying my answer is incorrect.

There might only be one body, but if you selected another element tag like h1, there could very well be multiple, which is why a collection is returned, even if there's only one match.
It should pass if you add [0] to indicate the item at index 0 - document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0] returns the body html.
Play around with it in the Chrome Developer Tools console!
