Having one of those days...LOST

It tells me to add CSS that will allow images to fill their parent element. I went back and watched the videos again, still lost. Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none; 
}


#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7
}

#gallery li a p{
  margin: 0;
  padding: 5%;
  font-size: 0.75em;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}
