Not sure why my code is Wrong?

Hello, I am new to JavaScript and I am not sure what I am doing wrong in this task? The code appears to be working on my screen, but it is saying that this is making task 1 no longer work.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="scripts.js"></script>
  <script>alert("Warning!");</script>


</body>
</html>
