firstly you need to use your .pop() and .insert() on the your list, that is your prefix in each case should be the_list to indicate that you are peforming these functions on the variable the_list.
now to insert a certain item in a list, we start by indicating the index on which we want to insert our item in this case its o, then we state what it is that we want to insert in this case its 1. But NOTE well, we want to get our one as the result of popping it out of our list and remember pop uses the index of the item. So to get 1 here, since its on index 3 we use
the_list.pop(3)
now to insert the 1 on index 0 we use
the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3))
I created a new variable new_list to store our amended list and the resultant code should be
new_list = the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3)).
hop I explained it well.
