You may want to start by creating a loop.

Remember the challenge said you could "Assume the iterables will be the same length." So the length of either one would be a good limit for the loop.

Then, inside the loop, you could create a tuple by indexing the iterables with your loop variable and append that tuple to a new list.

Finally, you could return the new list.
