3,808 PointsI don't understand this question, what they're asking for.
I'm sorry I can't specify better than that. This is the question: "Select the button with the ID sayPhrase and assign it to the button variable."
var button;
var input;
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
alert(input.value);
});
button = document.getElementById('sayPhrase');
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Phrase Sayer</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><input type="text" id="phraseText"></p>
<p><button id="sayPhrase">Say Phrase</button></p>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

ID from your HTML page.
It would look like this:
var button = document.getElementById('sayPhrase');
Hope this helps!

You actually did it correctly except, they want you to assign it to the variable they provided, when its declared on line 1, and same on line 2 for next task
