Quiz Help - Copying with as slice

I'm stuck on this quiz question. It asks: Copy the entire list with a slice. The first line is pre-filled:

a_list = [1, 2, 3]

The second line is pre-filled partially with:

a_list

Then it gives me a box to finish the second line.

I wrote: [:] = b_list

What am I missing?

You should not include anything after the [:]. Remove the = b_list portion of your answer.
