You need to set 'opacity: 0.5' for the hover pseudoclass.

I think, my code is right but its it saying You need to set 'opacity: 0.5' for the hover pseudoclass.

        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>.

Consider what your SCSS would look like after it is compiled:

p a {
  color: red;
}
p > a {
  color: blue;
}
:hover p {
  opacity: 0.5;
}

Notice the placement of the pseudo-class, and what gets substituted for the "&".

While Shaun is partly right, you probably want to place your last addition at a different nesting level also.
