This question needs to be re-worded. It's very hard to understand.

What is the question asking?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <ul>
            <li id="first">First Item</li>
            <li id="second">Second Item</li>
            <li id="third">Third Item</li>
        </ul>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>
app.js 
let myList = document.querySelector('li#first');
let firstListItem;

Hi L. Haney - I believe this question is asking for the entire unordered list (aka everything within the <ul> tags). You can try this:

let myList = document.querySelector('ul');
