Explanation:

The said query in MongoDB that retrieves all the documents with the listing_url, name, address, and host_picture_url fields from the listingsAndReviews collection that have a host with a non-null picture URL.

The $exists operator within the $match stage checks whether the host.host_picture_url field exists and is not null and filters only those documents that satisfy this condition.

The second stage $project includes the fields listing_url, name, address, and host.host_picture_url in the output. The 1 next to each field indicates inclusion, while 0 would indicate exclusion.
