Create a new rule that targets the span element inside .intro. Give the span element a bold font weight and an italic font style.

For part 4, you need to have a new selector targeting the span inside the .intro class.

.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6em;
}

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