On the fill in the blank question about what two types JSON can be represented by, I've entered numerous variations of what the answer is (ordered lists and key-value pairs, arrays and key value pairs, ordered list of values and collection of key-value pairs, etc.) and it says my answer is incorrect every time. I don't think I'm missing anything on my understanding, so how do I get past this question so I can move on?

770 PointsI concur with this comment. It's possible to fully understand JSON and not get past this question. It should be more flexible or a more specific question should be asked. There is a problem if people that understand the material are getting the answer wrong.
For example I said Array and Object with was judged to be incorrect. Dictionary and Object are essentially the same in JavaScript so I'd argue that this answer is correct.
Perhaps a multiple choice would be better than a free form answer?
