Answer 1

Context for Q&A...In Q&A it isn't always clear these questions are from Lessons.

Context at the Lesson*:
--------------------
[Objects are like]... a list of values that are written as name:value pairs, with the names and the values separated by colons.

var person = {
name : "John", age : 31, ...
}
--------------------
Here, the var and { } tell you you're working with an object (named 'person'), as opposed to something else, like a function. The key:value pairs are just "variables" the object wraps.
