Why is task 2 no longer passing?

They are separate divs and Task 5 and 2 shouldn't have anything to do with one another?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.primary-content {
  padding: 25px 0 95px; 
}

.wildlife {
  border-top-style: solid; 
  border-top-width: 10px;
  border-top-color: orange; 
  margin-top: 105px;
}

.secondary-content {
  padding-top: 80px;
  padding-bottom: 70px;
  border: 2px dotted lightgrey;

                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.

        <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
        <p>
          Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
          <li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
          <li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
        </ul>       
      </div>
      <div>
        <h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
        <p>
          One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
        </p>
        <ol>
          <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
          <li>Pack sunscreen</li>
          <li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
          <li>Pack light</li>
        </ol>
      </div>
        </div><!-- End .secondary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">
            <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>

Task 5 requires that you give .secondary-content a bottom border.

Remember short hand rules for border styling as you did with your border rule already, you can apply the -bottom and likewise: -top, -left, -right to your border rule.

Thanks Cory. I didn't realize Task 5 was a bottom only border... I was too focused on why it was telling me Task 2 was no longer passing... (instead of telling me that I wasn't following the correct instructions for Task 5.
