Appending Elements to the dom

I'm not sure I'm interpreting the question correctly?

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
const newParagraph = document.getElementsByTagName("p");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <p>Vestibulum ac diam sit amet quam vehicula elementum sed sit amet dui. Proin eget tortor risus. 
          Cras ultricies ligula sed magna dictum porta. Nulla quis lorem ut libero malesuada feugiat.</p>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Try using document.createElement() for the first part of the challenge. This is covered in the video titled "Creating New Dom Elements".
