I tested out the first paragraph without the first ‘p’ tag in the exercise module and it did the same thing it did when the first ‘p’ tag was there. Then I did the same thing by removing the ‘p’ tag from the second paragraph, and this time placed the ‘p’ tag before and after the first paragraph, and it worked here too.
If there is an explanation, please incorporate that into the lesson itself.

Hi bobby,
Text can either be placed by itself or in paragraphs, but it’s generally bad practice to place text by itself.
Later on, when you get onto styling and CSS, you’ll be able to change your text’s colours, fonts, size, etc. If your text is in a p tag, you know that you can tell CSS to make your desired changes to ‘p’.If your text is just sitting on the page by itself, unless you target the entire body (which will change everything on the page, not just certain elements like p), you have no way of making any changes to that text.
