2nd question of quiz

Next, change the word 'UNKNOWN' in the aString variable to either 'BEFORE' or 'AFTER'. The otherString variable mentioned in the sentence is declared and set in the onCreate() method of the parent class of this MainActivity. You want the sentence to be true, so choose the correct word knowing that otherString is set in the parent onCreate() method.

i'm not able to understand the question!

aString = "This variable is set AFTER the 'otherString' variable in Activity";

It's asking you to decide if the aString variable is set before or after the 'otherString' variable in the onCreate method of the parent class.
Look at the order of where the aString is set versus when the super.OnCreate() method is called.
All you are going to do in this step is simply replace the word "UNKNOWN" with "BEFORE" or 'AFTER' depending on the aString variable's relation to the super.onCreate() call.
