Not sure if my code is incorrect or if my quiz is messed up?

Seemed like my code was correct for the first task, but when I hit "check work" I got a "Bummer". Not sure why?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.img {
  float: left;
}
p {
  clear: both;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

      <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>

.img selects elements with the class 'img' to select elements of type 'img' the selector is simply 'img' without the dot
