Declare a static, stuck on Java

Question

I am stuck on an extremely basic Java question, and I honestly don't know how to proceed.

The question is this:

"Fill in the blank to declare a static variable."

There is only a blank, so nothing precedes it and nothing comes after. I have tried "static", "public static", "private static", "static int" and several other combinations, including ending with ; and seemingly, nothing works.

Answer 1

Is this in the intermediate course under the lesson "static"?

There is not enough information for clear answering.. Please report to sl.
Temporarily, try
public static int x = 0;
