    let responseBody = "";

    response.on("data", dataChunk => {
// CORRECT ANSWER
        responseBody += dataChunk.toString();

    });

    response.on("data", () => {
        console.log(responseBody);

This was another false alarm I had solved, I feel as though the question was not being specific enough, It asked modify the data callback to concatenate the stream of data to the responseBody.. Not to read in the data and then convert it to a string. SMH.
