Sagar, Let me start with your mistake: You should use extend like : 

best.extend("a")

When you write best.extend("Sweet Wife") each letter in that string becomes a list member.

Answer: In challenge 1, you only need to create a list with 3 items. In challenge 2, you need to add 2 more items to the list.
In challenge 3, you need to insert the string "start" to the index 0

best = [1,2,3] #Challenge 1
best.append(4) #Challenge 2
best.append(5) #Challenge 2
best.insert(0,"start") #Challenge 3
