Since each question can have more than one answer you'll have a list of them. More specifically an array. When we add a new answer in the POST route, we'll push that answer (which should be the body of the request) to the end of the rest.

Thank you so much! I thought that the push method is sth else than the regular function for arrays. I can get it now.
