Hi, The question is asking not asking to empty the list. It's asking to only remove the string, boolean and list members.

Check more details for the basic Python List Method which are insert, remove, pop, append and extend.

the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]

# Your code goes below here
the_list.insert(0, the_list.pop(3))
the_list.remove("a")
the_list.remove(False)
the_list.remove([1, 2, 3])
a = []
for i in range(4, 21):
  a.append(i)
the_list.extend(a)
