Hi Nabeel,

What is the challenge asking you to do?

Hi Wayne,

Its asking for task 2,

Next, create a new media query that targets all devices when the viewport width is 768px or narrower. Inside the media query, target the .title element and set the font-size to 1.4rem. Finally, target the h1 element and set its font-size to 5rem.

Its saying that '1.4rem' is at fault, but it looks correct?

Hi Nabeel,

It looks like you might have forgotten to close your first media query.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
} /* <--- This closing bracket was missing */

 @media (max-width: 768px) {
   .title {
     font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
   h1 {
     font-size: 5rem;
      }
}

Adding in the missing bracket might solve your problem :)
