"main-pg" is just the name of the class the challenge is asking you to add to the paragraph. It doesn't have any technical meaning. I guess it stands for "main paragraph", but the actual name isn't too important in this case. The challenge is just testing that you are able to add a class to a paragraph element, which you do by adding class="main-pg" inside the opening p tag.

The class "main-pg" refers to "main paragraph" as this will be the main paragraph of your page.
