The question is: Inside the media query, clear the left side of every 4th list item in the gallery.

My Code:

If you are selecting the nth-child of the list item use a colon after the li selector.

li:nth-child(4n){
    clear: left;
}

if you are selecting the nth-child of the list use the ul selector

ul:nth-child(4n){
    clear: left;
}

or if gallery is the id of the list

#gallery:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
}
