list = ['This","is","Just","a","code","in","python"]
for l in list:
if l[0] == 'T':
print(l)

for item in list:
if item[0]...
or any other term that works well for you.
In your case maybe you would like something like
for continent in continents:
if continent[0] == 'A':
print(continent)

lst = ['Carrots', 'Cabbage', 'Beans', 'Tomatoes', 'Cucumbers']
print(', '.join([item for item in lst if item[0] == 'C']))
