Here is the solution. Make sure to read the question carefully and not to break your solution to any previous questions.

def add_list(list):
  out = 0
  for i in list:
    out += i
  return out

def summarize(list):
  sum = 0
  sum = add_list(list)
  return "The sum of {} is {}.".format(str(list), sum)
