Why is this not working?

I am not sure why this is not working. I have followed the instructions to the best of my ability. The .intro class with the span element nested inside should be changing accordingly but it tells to ensure font-size equals 20px in em of 1.25 (based on 16px default) Don't know what is wrong.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <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>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
p, .intro span {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6;

}

.intro span {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
  font-size: 1.25em;
}

Never mind, I figured it out.

.intro span { font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6em; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }

I wasn't specifying the line-height, but I don't recall seeing that in the instructions.

Good deal on resolving your issue!
