Confused on Part #3 of this Challenge

Can someone show me what code it is asking me to input? I find the directions for this step kind of confusing and cannot seem to get it right. For my third step this is what I'm typing in, and it says it is incorrect. Any help is appreciated!

NSString *favorite = [[color stringByAppendingString:preference]];

you have too many brackets around your method call and your strings are reversed. string by appending string appends the string you pass in as an argument to the end of the string thats calling the method

NSString *favorite = [preference stringByAppendingString:color];

will output My favorite color is purple. 

NSString *favorite = [[color stringByAppendingString:preference]];

would output purpleMy favorite color is.
