Erica,

You need to create a NEW rule that selects the span inside the .intro paragraph. You have lumped all of your property declarations under the same rule. You need to keep the .intro block with its font-size and line-height properties by itself, and then below it, create a new rule to target the .intro span, and give it the proper font-weight and font-style properties.
