I keep getting a wrong answer. It tells me to make sure that the media query expression is inside parentheses,but it is!

maybe the parenthesis are not really the issue, but in that case, what is ?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media screen and (max-width: 1020px){
  .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

It's dumb, but it looks like your confusing the test by including "screen." Try it @media (max-width:1020px).
