It's showing an error because the page constructor you have asks for 4 variables,

    public Page(int imageId, int textId, Choice choice1, Choice choice2) {
        this.imageId = imageId;
        this.textId = textId;
        this.choice1 = choice1;
        this.choice2 = choice2;
    }

The part in the parentheses says what the constructor should expect as input. Because these are the last pages, there are no choices, but the code doesn't know that, it just thinks you forgot to include two of the parameters. If you continue with the video, disregarding the errors, he'll show you how to create a second constructor that looks like this.

    public Page(int imageId, int textId) {
        this.imageId = imageId;
        this.textId = textId;
    } 

which will fix your errors.

Hi there,

Can you provide a bit more code for us for more context as to what the problem might be?

For example have you managed to build the main Constructor for the class. That might explain why it's not letting you complete that line of code! :-)
