What is actually require in 'Overriding' the add_item method?

I don't quite understand what is to be completed in Task 2 of the 'Super!' challenge

inventory.py 
class Inventory:
    def __init__(self):
        self.slots = []

    def add_item(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)

class SortedInventory(Inventory):

    def __init__(self,item,**kwargs):
        super().add_item(item)

You created an override, but for "__init__" instead of "add_item".

Just change the name of the method you are overriding (and you won't need "**kwargs").
