So let me see if I understand this correctly. This is still an array so we need to write questions[i] but because ....

it contains 3 objects, we need to use dot notation to access the object "property". So you write questions[i].question to access that object within the array but could have also written, questions[i]["question"] ?

Your understanding is correct. When you access an index of an array you get back whatever is stored there, and can perform any action you normally could perform on said value type. So if the value is an object you can access its properties in the way you normally can, with either dot notation or bracket notation.
