Quiz not working right

Why is this not recognizing that I've set the descendant em to red?

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */ body { background-color: lightblue; }

h1 { color: darkblue; }

h1 em { color: red; }

Are you sure it's asking for the em descendant of the h1? I just re-took the code challenge and it asked me for the em descendant of the paragraph. I don't know if it changes it up or not... but your code looked fine other than that.

Hi! It should be written like this:

em { color: red; }

You don't need to put h1 before em.

Ashley, you're right. I didn't read carefully. When I took it again I saw the paragraph not h1.
