Two options (both failed attempts) are shown in my attached code.
def loopy(items):
for i in items:
if i.index[0] == "a":
continue
print(i)
## This is another attempt:
def loopy(items):
for i in items:
if index == 0
and i == "a":
continue
print(i)

def loopy(items):
for i in items:
if i[0] == "a":
continue
print(i)
