Command Prompt DNS lookup

I have this homework assignment for my Data Communications & Networking class and I am completely lost.

It is about learning DNS lookup using the Command prompt but my professor didn't really explain it very well at all.

dns_lookup

On the left is me typing the line into command prompt (as administrator) & on the right is the example the professor gave us. Every time I use -type=NS, it returns root as opposed to what the professor was getting on the right.

I do not understand this stuff at all so all of my Google searches are coming up empty and I'm 2 hours into this now and completely confused. Can anyone explain how I can end up with a result like the one he is getting on the right?

Your DNS server is setup wrong. Try setting it right.

Here is the link to setup Google DNS server for Windows: Google DNS. See section named Microsoft Windows in this page.
