You need to create a "label" element, like you did for "Shirt size", above each radio button. Then you need to add a 'for' attribute to each label with the corresponding value from the radio button. (value="small")

<label for="shirt_size">Shirt Size:</label>

  <label for="small">Small</label>
  <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size"> 

  <label for="medium">Medium</label>
  <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">

  <label for="large">Large</label>
  <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">

It should look like the "label" element but you must add 'for' (< label for="small">Small< /label >) (obviously not without all the spaces in the tags. I can't show the code properly here)
