script.js 
function returnValue(Home) {
  return Home;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

You got the first task right. The next asks you to create a variable 'echo' and assign to it the results of your function

var echo = returnValue("Hello");

Since the function just returns the argument, echo now has a value of "Hello"
