Hi,

You don't need to declare myList again, because it already has declared.

Finally, remove the <li> element stored in firstListItem from the DOM.

you need to remove the <li> element which is stored in firstListItem variable
use removeChild is a method to remove a child. 

myList.removeChild(firstListItem)
