Development Tools Git Basics Merging Conflict Resolution

What resolution should remove and persemetic problem

Can anyone explain what the quiz is asking plz

conflicted_file.txt
This is a text file! It's a fun little text file - 
it never really did anything to hurt anyone. 

The only problem with our fun little text file 
is that it has conflict resolution issues.

<<<<<<< HEAD
It tries its best to resolve problems on its own.
=======
It pretty much can't ever resolve problems.
>>>>>>> pessimistic_branch

Whenever it runs into a problem, it asks other people for help.

<<<<<<< HEAD
Maybe you can help it resolve its issues?
=======
But it's a very needy file, so people often leave it alone.
>>>>>>> pessimistic_branch

Abdullahi Abdinasir Ali the quiz is asking you to remove the conflicts directly in the text file. You'll do this by removing conflict markers and keeping the version of the text specified in the quiz. The video just before this quiz does a good job explaining potential solutions, starting around the 1:50 mark.
