15,244 PointsHello bro This is the correct answer
var lastName = document.getElementsByTagName("span")[1];
Here we are accessing the document object and calling "getElementsByTagName" method on it using a dot(.) notation. Inside the brackets we put what kind of elements we want to select..in this case we want to select the span element. but the question says to only select the SECOND SPAN...thats why i included the index of 1. hope you got it...rate my answer as the best
