I'm sure theres been a hundred other questions regarding the same thing, but I can't seem to find one that helps my case. When I hover over n3-n5, it triggers n2. This does not happen when hovering n1. Much appreciate, and sorry for being a noob.

Answer 1

n5 , n4 , and n3 all use the class style2 in their children. Create different classes for each child span to have separate hover effects.

Answer 2

not close span tag on <span class="n2">

<span class="n2"><p><span class="style2">Find</span> riders in your 
  local area, state, region, or country. <span class="style2">Cruise</span> 
 along.</p></span>

Answer 3

You are missing one closing span on second one:
