Showing a Selection on a Different Slide

Hi all -

Hoping someone can help me.  I am working on a course, where the user is prompted to categorize themselves in one of five styles.  So I have a slide (slide 1) for that selection.  Then after they select one style, it takes them to a slide that talks more about that style.

Once they finish learning about that style, they click a return button, that takes them to a slide that looks just like the initial selection slide, and will have a checkmark next to the style they have  already reviewed.  It also lists the other four styles - so they have to click on each style to learn more.  After they finish learning about all five styles, I would like to take them to a slide (recap) that says, here is the initial style you chose for yourself.  Now after learning about all the styles would you still choose that style. 

I can't seem to figure out how to get their initial selection from slide 1 to show up on the recap slide.  I separated the slides (slide 1 and the 'Return' slides) because I wanted to capture their initial selection. 

I have tried using the variables, but when I test it does not seem to work. What am I missing??

I have attached a sample file of what I am trying o accomplish - just to give a high level idea.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
