Hey Lindy now You have two options, either copy the answer you have here or you can google "html and css comments".

Don't go with the first option, it won't help you. Good Luck.

Why are you trying to comment out the css? 

a { 
text-decoration:none;
}

That should work

Can you explain to me why are using these symbols 

"<!--",   "//" , "-->"

Do some research, and find out what these notations actually mean and you will have your answer.
