Stuck on Selectors question 5

I seem to be stuck on question 5 of the first selector challenge: basic selectors.

The goal is to Select the class '.intro' and set its font weight to bold.

Here is what I have:

    <p class="intro">
            <em>Lorem ipsum dolor</em> sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc pulvinar consequat tortor, nec venenatis erat elementum scelerisque. Curabitur sit amet risus nisi. Aenean aliquet euismod augue at viverra. Ut varius arcu in lorem iaculis ullamcorper. Integer eu rutrum quam.
        </p>


and the CSS is here:

h1 {
    color: blue;
}

p em {
    color: red;
  {

.intro {
      font-weight: bold;
   }

Any idea why this code isn't working?

The closing curly brace was facing the wrong way.
