I can't figure out how to answer this correctly. I have reviewed the video and don't understand how to call best result

Haven't lots of issues with this one. Are we to include the variable within the code block from task 1?

script.js 
function returnValue(drink) {
  return drink;
}
var echo = return drink;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<script src="script.js"></script>

</html>

This is the correct code for both steps of the challenge <blockquotes>

function returnValue (name) {
  return name;
}
var echo = returnValue("Lakindu Jayathilaka");

</blockquotes> The second step tell us to set the value of echo to be the results from calling the returnValue function. so we must call the 'returnValue' function like this 'returnValue("Lakindu Jayathilaka")' Please mark my answer as the best if i helped u...thanks
