Look at the <p> element with class="intro". you added a second </p> closing tag before the text, or workspace added it automatically.

  <p class="intro"></p> <---- Delete this closing tag

This is how it should look

<p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> 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>
