How to display certain line of file only using head or tail in 1 command?

First month learning about the Linux terminal and it has been a challenge yet fun so far. We're learning by using a gameshell. I'm trying to display a certain line ( only allowed 1 command ) from a file only using the head or tail. I'm pretty about this answer:


Code:
head -23 history.txt | tail -1



However, it is not the good answer once I complete the gash check.

Any advice will help !
