What am I supposed to display in Task 6?

Task 6 seems to be asking for contradictory results. If I display just 1 letter from the array, it asks me to display all 4 letters. But if I display all 4 letters from the array, it tells me to display just 1. What is this asking? I'm utterly stuck.

letters.php 
<?php

$letters = array("D", "G", "L", "R");

echo "My favorite ";
echo count($letters);
echo " letters are these:";

foreach($letters as $letter) {
  echo $letters[4];
}
echo ".";

?>

<?php

$letters = array("D", "G", "L", "R");

echo "My favorite ";
echo count($letters);
echo " letters are these: ";

foreach($letters as $letter) {
  echo $letter;
}
echo ".";

?>

Will display:

My favorite 4 letters are these: DGLR.

Thanks for your response, mikes02! I refreshed my browser and tried again on my own right after I posted my question. I got it to work properly the second time around; apparently that question was redundant, since I had already done what it asked for in Task 5.
