Okay, think of it like this. func = apply_twice() arg = 10 ^To better understand Line 2, just swap out func/arg with the above. EXAMPLE: return add_five(add_five(10)) ^As you can see when you swap it out, you're calling the add_five function twice. The inner function argument is calling 'add_five' with the value of 10, and then the function returns the new value (10 + 5) of 15, which calls the function again with the new arg of 15. The function adds 5 again resulting in a value of 20.
