stuck on question of placing content between header and footer h2 p and ul inside element standalone sections.. pls help

This was by far the most annoying questionnaire I've seen, I had a hard time knowing what to put on it, the "footer" and header made the most sense... the others not so much,,, I have no idea what to put, Itried putting <aside> and <nav> but neither worked... Im on question 3 if this helps...

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
        <ul>
        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
        </ul>
    </header>
    <article>
        <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
            <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </article>
        <aside>
            <h2>Welcome</h2>
                <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
                    <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
                    </ul>
        </aside>    
            <footer>
                        <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
                    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
        </footer>
 </body>
</html>

It sounds like the terminology might be giving you trouble, it does take a bit of getting used to.

Perhaps this little "semantic element summary" will help:

  • "a group of introductory content" :point_right: <header>
  • "a major section of navigation" :point_right: <nav>
  • "the main content of the <body> of the page" :point_right: <main>
  • "standalone sections of content" :point_right: <section>
  • "self-contained pieces of content" :point_right: <article>
  • "content that's indirectly related to the main content of the page" :point_right: <aside>
  • "information about the site, copyright data or related links" :point_right: <footer>
