        You know what my favorite restaurant in San Francisco is? The answer is that there are so many great restaurants that I couldn't choose one. But honorable mentions include <a href="#">Mr. Chow's</a>, <a href="#">Live Sushi</a> and <a href="#">Piccino</a>.

You're missing a closing bracket, that's all.

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