Thank you very much. Please, this is the attached file. I will be very glad if you can work on it for me as I cannot deploy nor preview this
The problem is that you have a single quote (') in the choice value in your selected() expression, so the parser cant tell the difference between this quote and the actual string delimiter for end-of-string quote:
[note, you do this again a couple questions later]
If you change the string delimiter to use double quotes instead it should fix the issue; eg this

However, I’d probably just avoid using single quotes in choice values, because you are liable to keep tripping over this again and again… I might suggest using “Dont know” as the choice value instead (or better yet, “dont_know”)
Thank you very much I really do appreciate. Is it possible to schedule a zoom or google teams with me to explain how you rectified it. My email is larryerickson83@gmail.com
