Solution works. I just have a few questions.
| # TODO: Write a command to output the name of the person. | ||
| # Your output should be exactly the string "Selma", but should not contain any quote characters. | ||
|
|

| cat person.json | jq -r ".name" No newline at end of file |

Why not specify the input filename directly as:
jq -r .name person.json
?
| # TODO: Write a command to output the name of the person, then a comma, then their profession. | ||
| # Your output should be exactly the string "Selma, Software Engineer", but should not contain any quote characters. | ||
|
|

| cat person.json | jq -j '[.name, .profession] | join (", ")' No newline at end of file |

Why use -j option on this particular command?
