You'll combine literal strings and columns by concatenation. For the playground this is done with the || operator.
So you'll have something like this:
SELECT first_name || ' ' || last_name || ' <' || email || '>' AS combined_name FROM table_name;
The combined_name is an alias for the column heading, if they asked for a specific one just replace it. And of course replace table_name with the actual name of the table.
