/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

      <h1>The verdict is in. CSS Layout is great!</h1>
      <p class="clear">I’ve been working with CSS for a while now, and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome. I love being able to separate content from presentation, and to keep all my styles in an external stylesheet.</p>
      <p>I’ve had a pretty good grasp on the basics for a while now, but I needed to learn more about how to control layout with my CSS. Understanding CSS layout meant first exploring the parts of the CSS box model.</p>

It is asking you to target the img element with the float property. It wants the texts to wrap on the right side, so you need to utilize float: left. See below for CSS example. Hope this helps!

img {
float: left;
}
