The 4th task is not working properly. Preview is broken and even with classic css rule I can't select footer

I've tried even with

.footer p a { color: white; }

        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>.

Yes I figured it out after a few minutes but I still don't understand why I need to put div before the class selector. Maybe I need to read more about Sass and it's principles. Thanks a lot for quick reply guys.
