What I have tried:

In line 12, I try to use "<em>" with "<ol>" but it's show an error.

Quote:
Error: Element ol not allowed as child of element em in this context. (Suppressing further errors from this subtree.)

Do you know what an em element is?

What you need to use is, you need to set em as the child for li elements. The view is the same, but is legal. Like this,

<ol>
    <li><em><a href="#logo">Company's logo</a></em></li>
    <li><em><a href="#employees">List of employees</a></em></li>
</ol>

This is what you want to use. This would render what you want it to. Plus, it won't show the errors.

One more thing, every element in HTML has a reason, semantic, that you need to follow. If you ever get confused as to whether an element can be a possible child of an element, go to MDN documentation and see for yourself, <em> - HTML | MDN[^]
