    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',

You need to make sure to put a colon at the end of the for loop, and then you need to use conditional branching inside the for loop. Example below.

for example, if I wanted only continents that have the FIRST letter in the string 'B':

for continent in continents:
    if continent[0]=='B':
        print("* " + continent)
