Why does it say "Bummer! Make sure you're including the @media query expression inside parenthesis."

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media screen and (max-width: 1020px){
  .main-header{
    color: white;
    background-color: tomato;
  }
}
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 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">

Hi Matthew,

The challenge asks to target all devices, not just the screen ;)

Hope this helps

Thanks Rich :)
