I think you mean 4th part of the challenge which is "Create a new rule that targets the span element inside .intro. Give the span element a bold font weight and an italic font style".

Here, you need to select only "span" element inside your "intro" class, so it should be like this:

.intro span {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}

It looks like you're on task 4.

Task 4 is "Create a new rule that targets the span element inside .intro. Give the span element a bold font weight and an italic font style."

When you target a element inside another element you use a descendant selector. This is just the selector for the outer element and one for the inner element separated by a space.

I'm guessing you can handle setting the properties once you get your selector.
