Why is task one no longer passing?

not sure why task one is not passing. I am pretty sure though that the code is correct. :–(

hash.rb 
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
grocery_item["food"] = true      

values_at.array.new = grocery_list = grocery_item grocery_item.has_value? ("item")

The values_at creates a new array so there is no reason to do array.new. Just set grocery_list = to what you want. 

grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
grocery_item["food"] = true      

grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item")
