This is confusing.

I am supposed to explain how to prepare a solution using the proper lab equipment (both from dry solid and a stock solution)

Help would greatly be appreciated...

It's confusing to me, too, since you provided few, if any, details. In general, you prepare a 1 M solution by placing 1 mole of the solid in a 1 liter volumetric flask, dissolve in a small amount of water, then make to the final mark of the flask with water.
Yeah I know...sorry, but that's all the information I was given

Thank you for your answer.

But what exactly do you mean by "then make to the final mark of the flask with water." ?
