Stuck on a test question

I'm having a hard time understanding what to actually do for this question.

index.html 
<!doctype>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My trip to Spain</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <img alt="A picture of me in Spain">
    Here is a picture of me in Spain last summer!
    <a>Go back to the top of the page.</a>

  </body>
</html>

You need to add a src attribute:

<img src="images/spain.jpg" alt="A picture of me in Spain">

Yes, as Rachel said, you need to point to the image file. The alternate text, alt="A picture of me in Spain" is simply a caption which is intended to be audible for the visually impaired.
