the third question asked you to remove the initialization from the field definition so you just have to remove the "red" parameter from String color = "red";

This is because when you will create an object which type is GoKart you will already pass a color parameter so there is no point to declare it in object

The code should be look like this:

class GoKart {
  private String color;

  public GoKart(String color){
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

}
