Any syntax error will invalidate the entire script and cause the re-validations to fail.

In this case, the error is from having one opening script tag, but two closing tags.

But another issue is that the instructions did not ask for the script tag to have a "src" attribute.

And if you're working on task 2, you still need to write the code that goes between the script tags.
