Hi there! When sending a GET request we are asking for something or querying. This is expressed with a question mark. The things coming after the question mark are the parameters. The exercise is looking for you to ask for results where the type is equal to kindle and the sort is equal to popular. You did manage to get the & part correct!

So, the correct answers here would be ? (to start the query), = to say what we want the type to be equal to, and & to say that the other parameter must have a sort = popular.

Hope this clarifies things! :sparkles:

Thank you for your help. I guess the spacing also makes it look weird. Thank you again!
