When you add the class to the paragraph, the setting goes inside the opening <p> tag. But the paragraph content and the closing tag should remain as they were.

Then, CSS property names do not contain spaces. The property to set only the width of a border is "border-width". But you could also put the width in with the other settings in the "border" shorthand property.

Steven is correct. Your code should look like this:

.main-pg {
border: solid red 4px;
}
