Python

states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]```

what's wrong with this code
it says : Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

```lists.py
states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]

states.remove(5 )
states.remove('red')

'red' is the first item within a second (list) item of the states list. To remove the second item of the states list you must use states.remove() on the entire second item...
