## Description
<section id='description'>
Of course, you can make items consume multiple rows just like you can with columns. You define the horizontal lines you want an item to start and stop at using the <code>grid-row</code> property on a grid item.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Make the element with the <code>item5</code> class consume the last two rows.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>item5</code> class should have a <code>grid-row</code> property.
    testString: assert(__helpers.removeWhiteSpace($('style').text()).match(/\.item5{.*grid-row:.*}/g));
  - text: <code>item5</code> class should have a <code>grid-row</code> property which results in it consuming the last two rows of the grid.
    testString: "
      const rowStart = getComputedStyle($('.item5')[0]).gridRowStart;
      const rowEnd = getComputedStyle($('.item5')[0]).gridRowEnd;
      const result = rowStart.toString() + rowEnd.toString();
      const correctResults = ['24', '2-1', '2span 2', '2span2', 'span 2-1', '-12', 'span 2span 2', 'span 2auto', 'autospan 2'];
      assert(correctResults.includes(result));
    "
