Hi Sravanthi,

To set the color to the anchor element, you should first specify the nav element. Then since the anchor element i.e. a is inside the nav, so you should write the a for the anchor element as mentioned by Matthew.

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

The question asks you to set the color of the anchor element which is inside the nav element, not to all the anchor element. So, it is important to specify the element that contains it.

Suppose there are two paragraphs under h1 and h2. If you want to set the red color property to only the paragraph inside h1 and not to h2, you should specify h1 and then after a space, you write the p element. Then inside it you define the color property like this :

h1 p {
  color: red;
}

I hope this helps.
