Answer to question on quiz seems wrong

On the quiz related to this section, the question "What parameter does the_field() function accept?" only passes if you give it the answer "The custom field slug".

It seems to me that one of the other options "The custom field name" would be the correct answer as that name comes directly from the Custom Field table as pasted here "Field Name", eg. for our Work custom field, the column Field Name has "url, description, button_color, etc.", which are the exact parameters we provide into the_field() function.

Hi,

Super late response here, but it is important to understand the difference in terms between name and slug in WordPress as the slug is what is called programatically in our code and name is what displays for labels in the admin area. In general they are not exchangeable.
