        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>.

Hi Sarah Kostin, you are close - just placed your code in the wrong place :-)

The answer is below.

p {
  a {
    color: red;
    div.footer & {
      color: purple;
    }
  }
  > a {
    color: blue;
    &:hover {
      opacity: 0.5;
    }
  }
}

Hi Sarah,

Edit: For some reason, I didn't test challenge 4/4. Elliot is correct.

Kind Regards
