Let’s change the properties in the CSS rules

You handled the previous improvements so well that the boss has become inspired and got carried away: the all caps in the list of service benefits SHOUT at the reader, so they should be uncapitalized; you should focus on fixing the text of the list of benefits; the use of bullet points in the list is no longer fashionable, so remove them. And you thought you were almost finished!

These improvements are more complex. Not only do we need to change the values of the properties, but we also need to add and delete the properties in the CSS rules. This is the format of a CSS rule:

selector {
  property: value;
  property: value;
}

A CSS rule is a group of properties and their values, which will be applied to the HTML indicated by the selector at the beginning of the line.

However, for the moment we will not dive into the details of how selectors work. Simply add and remove the desired properties in the desired CSS rules. We have already marked them by adding comments.
