I’m a new chess player and do not understand why the solution to this puzzle is Qc2+ instead of something like Rb8, Qf5, g4 I don’t really understand what black could do here to save the Queen?

After the puzzle is complete, you can go back to the beginning and play the position versus the computer. Then you will see if the Queen is really trapped.
Winning the Rook via a quick fork is nice and simple.
