# --description--
When you added the D3 library earlier, it put an object named `d3` in your project with a bunch of functions. One of them is `select`; you can use dot notation to access this and the other functions from the object. Create a new variable named `lineGraph` and use `d3.select` to select the `.dashboard` element. Here's an example of something similar:
```js
const variableName = d3.select('.className')
```
# --hints--
test-text
```js
assert(lineGraph._groups[0][0] === $('.dashboard')[0]);
```
