challenge task 2 CSS basics

the font is suppose to be set to 1.4rem for the .title and the h1 font is set for 5rem. my error message is did you specify the correct font size for .title?

I have checked other answers and they appear to match mine. Why do I keep getting this error.

@media (max-width: 768px) { .title { font-size: 1.4rem; } h1 { font-size: 5rem; } }

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
    .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
 @media (max-width: 768px)
 { 
   .title {
     font-size: 1.4rem; 
   }
   h1 {
     font-size: 5rem;
   } 
 }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>

The @media (max-width: 768px) is nested inside @media (max-width: 1020px). It has to be outside. This should do it:

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
    .main-header {
        background-color: tomato;
        color: white;
    }
}

@media (max-width: 768px) { 
    .title {
        font-size: 1.4rem; 
    }

    h1 {
        font-size: 5rem;
    }
}

Hope it works :)!

Have you tried targeting the h1 using the class name .main-heading?
