How do I do this?
You may only modify the CSS file and should only write one
rule/color to make all the lines the right color. The correct color is inside the text. You are also not allowed to use the comma combinator.

HTML: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

Hey there.

So basically you want to find a pattern in the coloured elements.

So for the first section, you'll see that every h2 element is coloured, so you'll want to select every h2 element inside the element with the news-1 class and make it red:
CSS: 
.news-1 h2 {
  color: red;
}

For the second section, you're selecting every odd element:
CSS: 
.news-2 *:nth-child(odd) {
  color: blue;
}

Third section, select every odd h3 element:
CSS: 
.news-3 h3:nth-child(odd) {
  color: purple;
}

For the last section it's a bit more complicated. Look for a sequence in the form An+B where A and B are integers and n is every integer more than or equal to 0.
In this case, the sequence...

In this case, the sequence will be 4n+1:
CSS: 
.news-4 *:nth-child(4n+1) {
  color: green;
}

You may want to take a look at CSS selectors and the :nth-child pseudo-class.
