You can create either a string or a list. A string would be created like this:
var_one = "test"
And a list could be created like this:
var_one = [ "a", "b", "c", "d" ]
But either way, you'll need to make the contents a bit longer because your requirement is that 'the item with an index value of 5, is the letter "t".'
So you don't need to select that item, just make sure that what you into the variable meets that condition.
