How can I change the scope of callback on AJAX request?

Question

Hello! What does it mean to change the scope of callback!?. And anybody knows how I can change the execution scope of the callback for the ajax request below? 
function aName(){
    return $.get('/lol-ajax/echo', { random:1})
}
function customDfd(){
    var dfd = $.Deferred();
    setTimeout(function(){
        dfd.resolve('all done!');
    }, 4000);
    return dfd.promise();
}
$.when(aName(), customDfd())
.done(function(name, custom){
    console.log(name[0], custom);
});

First up, please wrap any code with three backticks (usually to the left of the number 1 key on your keyboard), each on their own line, and with a blank line proceeding it. You can also specify the type of code for the syntax highlighting:
e.g. this:
```js
    var myJavaScriptCode = function() {
      console.log("My string");
    };
```
will appear like this:
js
var myJavaScriptCode = function() {
  console.log("My string");
};

As for your actual question, you might want to check out jQuery's proxy() method (http://api.jquery.com/jquery.proxy/). It looks like it might help with what you're trying to achieve.
