What do i do wrong on this piece of code i get a fail message

This is the code that i'am applying:

function widget( $args, $instance ) { // Widget output

        extract($args);
        $title = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title']);

    }

The code challenge keeps saying that the first thing to do is call the extract function. But i'am doing just that, so what is wrong with my code

plugin.php 
<?php

    class My_Plugin_Widget extends WP_Widget {

        function my_plugin_widget() {
            parent::__construct( false, 'My Plugin Widget' );
        }

        function widget( $args, $instance ) {
        // Widget output

     extract($args);
      $title = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title']);

    }

      function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
        // Save widget options

      $instance = $old_instance;

            $instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title']);

            return $instance;
    }

      function form( $instance ) {
        // Output admin widget options form

      $title = esc_attr($instance['title']);

            require('inc/widget-fields.php');
    }

    }
