The challenge is asking to target the 'p' inside the main-content class. So you just need to add 'p' after the main-content like this.

.main-content p {
  font-weight: bold;
}

Hi Mark,

You are pretty close.

"Next, target the paragraph that is a descendant of the main-content class. Add a font-weight property and set the value to bold."

Basically what this question is asking for is any paragraph that is inside main-content class. 

.main-content p{
 font-weight: bold; 
}
