I didnt understand the question properly,can anyone help me through how to code this?

Which ones are groups and which ones are members?

groups.py 
musical_groups = [
    ["Ad Rock", "MCA", "Mike D."],
    ["John Lennon", "Paul McCartney", "Ringo Starr", "George Harrison"],
    ["Salt", "Peppa", "Spinderella"],
    ["Rivers Cuomo", "Patrick Wilson", "Brian Bell", "Scott Shriner"],
    ["Chuck D.", "Flavor Flav", "Professor Griff", "Khari Winn", "DJ Lord"],
    ["Axl Rose", "Slash", "Duff McKagan", "Steven Adler"],
    ["Run", "DMC", "Jam Master Jay"],

Hello.

Are you asking what the 'group' is in "for group in musical_groups"?

it is just a variable and just means "for x in musical groups" where 'x' equals the iteration.

if you ran this in your console:

for group in musical_groups:
  print(group)

each list would print from musical groups. I guess each iteration here would be the musical group

if you ran

for group in musical_groups:
  for item in group:
    print(item)

And the iterations here would be the members of each group. You would return each item in the list from the list of groups in the musical group.

Doe this help? *edited for clarification

maybe it would be more pythonic if I wrote it like this:

for group in musical_groups:
  for member in group:
    print(member)
