There are two issues:

  1. The first task asks you to remove the number 5 from the list, you are not doing that in your current code which is an issue since you need to keep the code from each task around in multi-task challenges like this.

  2. The challenge checker can at times be pretty picky about how your code looks. It doesn't like the fact that you have a space between the remove method and its parenthesis, so you have to remove that space.

If you fix those two issues like this:

states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]
states.remove(5)
states.remove(["red","green","blue"])

Then you will be able to pass the challenge.
