231,270 PointsIf you wish to use "removeChild", you need to apply the method to the parent, and supply the child as the argument:
myList.removeChild(firstListItem);
In actual practice, you could also use the "remove" method, applied directly to the element being removed. But the challenge only accepts the method that was introduced in the course.
