I found this solution from another question, but it's not passing. The error indicates there might be a problem with the unordered list tag, but I don't know what's wrong with it.
from flask import Flask, render_template
from options import OPTIONS
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('options.html', options=OPTIONS)
<ul>
{% for listItem in options %}
<li>{{ listItem["name"] }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>

from flask import Flask, render_template
from options import OPTIONS
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('options.html', options=OPTIONS)
# This is the end of the file. The HTML doesn't go here
<!-- The HTML you pasted should only go a template file, like this one -->
<ul>
{% for listItem in options %}
<li>{{ listItem["name"] }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
