Wait, I'm a bit confused. Is it just the variable name we need to provide, or do we need to include the value as well? I want to make sure I get this right.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. What's the difference between Judgmental sampling and Discovery sampling? I'll have to think about this one a bit more.
