Not understanding what is being asked for

In Challenge Task 1 of 1

Scope the routes to only include the create, update and destroy actions. I've tried a variety of versions for this. One example is below. This is not passing, and I am not understanding why - or I am not understanding what is being asked for. Other versions include the [:create, :update, :destory] following either monkeys or bananas but not both. I keep getting unexpected tiDENTIFIER errors for unexpected end of input.

routes.rb 
Rails.application.routes.draw do
  namespace :api do
    resources :monkeys [:create, :update, :destroy] do
      resources :bananas only: [:create, :update, :destroy]
    end
  end
end

Hi Ginger,

So close! You've missed both commas in monkeys and bananas routes, we need to set only create, update, and destroy actions.

Example:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  namespace :api do
    resources :monkeys, only: [:create, :update, :destroy] do
      resources :bananas, only: [:create, :update, :destroy]
    end
  end
end

Hope that helps.
