Adding answer for others to reference:

// Task 1
// I have placed several errors in this challenge. To fix them you
// must remove the // to uncomment them and then correct the error.
// Uncomment the first line and fix the error. If you do not see the
// error, click submit and view the Preview pane to view the compiler
// error.
String firstName = "Gordon"; // Sting misspelled

// Task 2
// Now uncomment and correct the second line. If you do not see the
// error, click submit and use preview tab to see the compiler output.
String lastName = "Sumner"; // string not capitalized

// Task 3
// Uncomment the third line and correct the mistake. If you aren't
// sure, click the Check Work button and then use the preview tab
// to see the compiler error.
console.printf("Hello %s", firstName); // missing trailing semi-colon

// Task 4
// Finally, uncomment the last line and correct it. This one seems
// to be missing the data type declaration at the start of the
// statement. Press Check Work if you don't see the mistake, and
// then click Preview to see the compiler error.
String band = console.readLine("Which band?  "); // add missing String
