Your solution works. I just have a few questions.
| # The input for this script is the person.json file. | ||
| # 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. | ||
| jq -r '.name' < person.json No newline at end of file |

Why not specify the file input directly as
jq -r '.name' person.json
That is, without using input redirection?

I used redirection as a reminder of different approaches I can use to solve the problem.
| # The input for this script is the person.json file. | ||
| # TODO: Write a command to output the address of the person, all on one line, with a comma between each line. | ||
| # Your output should be exactly the string "35 Fashion Street, London, E1 6PX", but should not contain any quote characters. | ||
| jq -jr '.address | join(", "), "\n"' < ./person.json No newline at end of file |

Why use -j option and then manually output the newline character? (Your commands in other script don't follow this approach)

Read about the -j flag as well, just a reminder that it takes out `\n' characters.
