What is ghe question?
JETINATE
Nh4 because it threatens mate on h5. If the rook is taken, Nxf5 is mate.

After 1. Nh4 black just take the rook Qxh4 and there is no mate. The solution is 1.Rh5+ Kxh5 2.Ngf4++ and no matter where the king goes 3.Qh5 is checkmate.

that does work, but it can’t be Rh5+ because that’s the move that he tried in the screenshot which it said was wrong. So it must be a mate in 2. I think it’s 1.Ne7 (1.Nh8 also mates but is slower as black can delay the mate).
