:point_right: The task 2 code should go inside the "row" rule.

Task 2 says "Give .row the flexbox property and value that will make it a multi-line flex container." So the code added must go inside the braces that enclose the rule for .row.

Also, to make it a "multi-line container", you'll need to set the property that affects what happens to lines wider than the container. The concept of breaking lines to fit is called "wrapping", and the name of that property is flex-wrap.
