Please help for the question : When creating a "mobile first" layout, we should use the ------ media feature

Please help me for this question. I try but I don't understand what is it in the fill blank.

I've noticed a lot of the questions in all the CSS modules are worded in vague and confusing ways. It's nice to know that so many other people have had similar troubles and it's not just me!

It is asking how you would target screen widths. It's a little awkwardly worded but its asking for the "min-width" media feature.

I just went back to retook the quiz.

and "min-width" without the quotes worked fine.

When creating a "mobile first" layout, we should use the min-width media feature.

This was trying to ask you to know that "min-width" is for desktop view of the media queries in this kind of mobile-first CSS stylesheet. So that if users were on desktop, they'd switch to the desktop version of website style in this mobile-first website.

min-width is the answer but the question is not specific enough. I didn't have a clue what it needed and a google search took me full circle to here...
