Sass Advanced Nesting Challenge

Every time I try Challenge 4 of Sass, I know I am doing the procedure correctly, yet it still tells me I am wrong. Is there anything that can be done to help?

p{
  a{
    color:red;
   }
   >a{
    color:blue;
      &:hover{
        opacity:0.5;
       }
       .footer &{
        color:purple;
        } 
   }

  }

Hi Joseph,

The challenge wants you to be more specific. It's a div with a class of "footer". Not just any element with a class of "footer".

This is what worked out for me. 

/* Write your SCSS code below. */
p{
  a{
    color: red;
    div.footer & {
      color: purple;
    }
  }
  > a {
    color: blue;
    &:hover {
      opacity: 0.5;
    }
  }
}
