It asks for ordered list inside the shape so I don't know where you got the thought to add the <dt>'s from. you only need to create it INSIDE the shape list so like this 

<ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol></ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>
