          Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions 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.

          As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

Hi there! This might be somewhat misleading. Because that span element is the only thing with the class "title", you only need to target the class. Remove the span part, and it should pass! :sparkles:

"Let's make the <span> element with the class "title" larger. Increase its font size to 26 pixels."

Alfonso, I don't think the question is misleading. You just need to take your time reading the question. I try to do this. It saves me a lot of time if I carefully read the question and then try to answer.

Sometimes we are trying to get through the challenges to quickly.

Keep going! :)
