I answered the task the best way I've learned how.. looking for help.

let greeting = "\(hi there,) \(name)"

You wrote "hi there," inside of \(). You only have to interpolate variables in your string but you are trying to interpolate a variable called "hi there," which doesn't exist (and also wouldn't be a valid variable), that's why you're getting the unresolved identifier error.
The correct code for task 1 should look like this:
// Enter your code below
let name = "danny"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
