I try to explain it with an example: my_list = [3,1,5,2,7]. You can call each item in the list by its index. The fist index number is 0. Use the list name and the index of the element you want to call: my_list [0] = 3 my_list [1] = 1 my_list [2] = 5 etc. my_list [my_list [3]] = my_list [2] = 5. I hope you can solve the quiz now by yourself.
