Hi Kevin!

Any confusion is understandable.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell what they mean (are looking for).

My first try/guess was <section>, but they were looking for <div>.

In other words (one way to think of it), <div> is an element that can group other elements, but is not considered "semantic" markup.

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
