Task 1 is no longer passing

I didn't change anything in my answer at Task 1. Why am I getting this error: "Task 1 is no longer passing"? I'm just trying to append 2 more items on the list, as specified in the instructions. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for any insights you can provide.

lists.py 
best = [ 6, "cat", 4.8 ]
best.append( 34, "micro" )

Append only takes one item. So you'd have to use append twice to add two items.

best.append(34)
best.append("micro")
#it is possible to add two at a time using extend with a list of two items.
best.extend([34, "micro])
