7,894 PointsWhat does the exercise ask you to do? One thing that I am noticing is that you need to select your elements in your query selectors the same way that you would do so in normal CSS, for example, where you've selected 'gallery' it should be written as #gallery since you are selecting by id. Descendant selectors should follow their normal CSS syntax as well.
