The first challenge asks...

"Declare a String variable named bestSport and initialize it to the first element of the sports array."

so

  1. Declare a string named bestSport... (How do we declare a string? We declare a string like this ex. String name; )
  2. Initialize it to the first element of the sport array (How do we initialize something to an array? Lets say we have an array called... people[3] be initialize our previous string to an element in it like this ex. name = people[2]; )

Now all together in one line... 

String name = people [2];  //initializing to the 3rd element of the array

my example shows how to solve the 1st task (it is not the exact solution but it is very close to the exact solution). So try to understand it and try the task again.
