I don't see where "it says" anything about brackets, but as shown in the provided example, the email address should be displayed within angle brackets.

This section is about concatenation, and this is an opportunity to practice it by joining literal strings to returned fields. You'll concatenate a space between the names, a space and an angle bracket between the names and the email, and end the email with a closing bracket. The entire thing will be selected as a single output column with an alias name.
