Why is this wrong?

There should be 1 item in 4 groceries right?

Hi Haasini!

I hope I am understanding your question...

This question is trying to determine if you know how for/in loop syntax is written.

To fill in these blanks:

groceries = ['fruit', 'tomatoes', 'paper towels', 'ketchup']

_ item _ groceries:
    print(item)

The first blank is "for".

The second is "in"

Basically, the code is saying "For each ordinal position in the groceries list, print that position's element/value."

And, of course, the resulting output would be:

fruit
tomatoes
paper towels
ketchup

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
