You basically got it my friend, the second part of the question wants you to print "* " + continent ONLY if continent[0] == "A". You just need to get rid of the first for loop since that has no if statement and will print all the items in the list. Code below should work for you.

for continent in continents: if continent[0] == 'A': print("* " + continent) else: None
