https://code.sololearn.com/WznGJxWinj6g/?ref=app when you write "p.right" in css this means you are selecting all the paragraphs defined in class "right" for styling. in your code you wrote "right" in strong tag, refer above listed example. <html> <head> <style> p.left{ text-align: left; } p.right{ text-align: right; } p.center{ text-align: center; } </style> </head> <body> <p class="left">This paragraph is aligned to <strong>left</strong></p> <p class="right" > This paragraph is aligned to <strong>right</strong></p> <p class="center">This paragraph is aligned to <strong>center</strong></p> </html>

<p class="left">This paragraph is aligned to <strong>left.</strong></p> You have to give class attribute to every p tag because you are setting styles based on class. p.something => applies styles to all P tags that has class something. You need to modify your code accordingly.

To apply the style called "center" to the paragraph you have to specify the class. p.center means apply the class style called "center" to this paragraph to apply it you have call the class by using: <p class="center"> your text </p>
