## Description
<section id='description'>
This section of the curriculum focuses on Applied Visual Design. The first group of challenges build on the given card layout to show a number of core principles.
Text is often a large part of web content. CSS has several options for how to align it with the <code>text-align</code> property.
<code>text-align: justify;</code> causes all lines of text except the last line to meet the left and right edges of the line box.
<code>text-align: center;</code> centers the text
<code>text-align: right;</code> right-aligns the text
And <code>text-align: left;</code> (the default) left-aligns the text.

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Align the <code>h4</code> tag's text, which says "Google", to the center. Then justify the paragraph tag which contains information about how Google was founded.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your code should use the text-align property on the <code>h4</code> tag to set it to center.
    testString: assert($('h4').css('text-align') == 'center');
  - text: Your code should use the text-align property on the <code>p</code> tag to set it to justify.
    testString: assert($('p').css('text-align') == 'justify');
