The variable "continents" (plural) is the entire list, The loop gives you each of them one at a time as "continent" (singular).

Also, your first "print" statement has unbalanced quotes (only one instead of a pair). And you'll need a space after the asterisk to make the output look like the sample.

You need a space after the asterix *

continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
for x in continents:
    print("* "+ x)
