rem unit help!

I'm having a little bit of trouble resizing the .more a class back to the html size! Any help? ):

Select the link with the class more. Using the rem unit, set its font size back to the base font size of the root HTML element.

html {font-size: 1em; }
h1 {font-size: 2.5em; }
p {font-size: 1.5em;}
.more a { font-size: .4rem; }

REM (Relative Em) is the base unit size for the document so the code below will pass.

    a.more { font-size: 1rem; } // Notice you also had the wrong selector see below.

You were selecting all "a" inside the class more, rather than the above "a" with the class more
