The phrase "store the returned results...back to the variable" just means "make an assignment". So you will create the variable and assign it at the same time using the assignment operator (equal sign: "="), like this:
var echo = returnValue('hello');
Also, while your function is working as-is, you can simplify it by removing the internal variable and just returning the argument directly:
function returnValue(str) {
return str;
}
