Hi Ary to target a tag within a tag in Sass we do the following:

p {

a {

}

}

So now all you need to do is add the rule within the a { } tag to change the color to red :)

Hope that helps!!

Almost!! Except you only need add the color rule to the a tag, like so:

p {

a {
    color: red; /*add rule here */
}

}

This will only change the color of the links and not the entire content within the p tags :)
