Why is this wrong?

I answered "checked" and "disabled" to the two questions that asked:

"The [BLANK] pseudo-class can target the checked state of a radio button or checkbox."

and:

"The [BLANK] pseudo-class can target the disabled state of a form input field."

As far as I can see this should be the correct answer. If it is not, what is the correct answer?

Hi Elinor,

pseudo-classes require a colon in front. The quiz may be requiring that you put that in as well.

Thanks. I discovered that when I saw a question from another student asking pretty much the same thing. IMHO, the question is a little confusing as it doesn't seem to ask for the syntax of actually using the class in CSS but just the name of the class. In any case, I retook the quiz and included the colon and that was the correct answer.
