## Problem Explanation

Let's clarify: `require()` loads the entire file and its components (functions, variables), while `import _ from` allows you to hand-pick what components you want. 

In this lesson, you are tasked at importing the function `capitalizeStrings()`, which comes from the file `"string-functions"`.
