# --description--

By default, form elements like radio buttons might not sit perfectly aligned with their labels, especially if the label text is taller or has different font settings.

To align the radio buttons vertically with their labels, you can use the `vertical-align` property. This property controls how inline or inline-block elements line up vertically with the surrounding text.

Now, set `vertical-align` to `bottom` for the radio buttons. You can experiment with other values like `middle` or `top` to see how they affect alignment, but `bottom` usually works well for radio buttons next to labels.

# --hints--

You should continue to target the `.contact-method-radio-btn` class.

```js
assert(new __helpers.CSSHelp(document).getStyle('.contact-method-radio-btn'));
```

Set the `vertical-align` property to `bottom`.

```js
const style = new __helpers.CSSHelp(document).getStyle('.contact-method-radio-btn');
assert.strictEqual(style?.verticalAlign, 'bottom');
```
