Quiz Question 3 Deserialize The News Results

Ok, I feel very stupid, but I do not know what this question is asking. I have tried using indexes ( {0} ), and I have even tried using Object.apples with these blanks. I've looked at the string.Format documentation and it seems I have to know what object I'm calling in order to use this method; hence why I tried using object.apples in it. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and why it's wrong?

Complete the following code in order to produce a string that prints the "I like apples and oranges, but I don't like bananas."

string.Format("I like __________ and __________ , but I don't like __________ .", "apples", "oranges", "bananas")

I tried it myself and indexes are working, maybe you made a typo

Yes they work. I stupidly was starting the index at 1 instead of 0.

string.Format("The current date is ", DateTime.Now.Date)

string.Format("The current date and time is ", DateTime.Now)

The next two questions are just asking for indexes. So the first one asks the index for the current date, so you write that as {0}. The next question asks for the same thing you're just adding in the current time to the date. If you rewatch the video, you'll find this answer about half way through or towards the end of the video. They simply put in a :F.

I can't pass the other two
