Bad error being reported

Challenge Task 2 of 2

OK, one more removal. See that second item in states? It's a list of colors and doesn't belong here. Can you get rid of it for me? Be sure to use .remove() again. Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing. Get Help Recheck work Go to task One lists.py

In code challenges, make sure you're adding your additional code to the code you wrote in the previous task (unless it explicitly says not to.) So what you have is correct, and will remove the item with the index of one from the list. Just leave the line where you remove 5 from the list as well!
