Hi Sarah! I'll tell you why:

Challenge 1 asks for only a variable called my_tuple. In your code, the variable is nested within a function. It's confusing the checker.

def my_tuple():
#delete the line above
    my_tuple = ('I', 'love', 'python')
    # then de-indent the line above (and the line below)
    item3= my_tuple[2]

Try making those changes. Let me know if you have questions!
