I answered the question correctly however it's saying I'm wrong and looks as though it's fishing for the task 1 answer:p

WTFrik

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js
$(".profile-text").text("I am a web developer");

The app.js code there is what I'm about to submit since it seems to think I'm on task 1 however

$(".profile-header").html("Student <span>Profile</span>");

is the code I was trying.

The challenge instructions include this hint: "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.". That means when you pass task 1 you should leave that code as-is, and create the task 2 code below it. The validator for task 2 will expect to see both answers.
