I don't get this question

For this task, it asks me to Declare a constant named finalGreeting, and concatenate the value of greeting with the string literal " How are you?".

but, I never get it right. I checked a few times and even checked it in Xcode, but I just can't find the reason why I got it wrong. Please help me, thank you.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Ryan"
let s = "Hi there,"
let greeting = "\(s) \(name)"
let g = "How are you"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) \(g)?"

Make sure you read this challenge carefully. They want you to first interpolate and then concatenate with the required constant names. You don't need to create separate objects for the text.

// Enter your code below
let name = "Brandon"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
