Hi,
I understand what we are expected to do here but I'm not sure of the technique necessary to perform the task.
The only time Guil has shown us how to select a descendent in this course so far is when he selected the ":nth-child". Im not sure of the syntax required to select the children of <nav> here. The text link in the description leads to midway through another course which hasnt come up on my track yet.

//Step #1 Target all links that are nested in a ul in the nav element
let navigationLinks = document.querySelectorAll("nav a");
//Step #2 Target all links inside the unordered list with gallery id
let galleryLinks = document.querySelectorAll("#gallery a");
//Step #3 Target all images in footer element
let footerImages = document.querySelectorAll("footer img");

It appears that we are being quizzed on something we haven't been taught yet.
