I really tried to get this without asking for help.

print (mylist)

does, I am missing something subtle.
if e[0].isupper == False:
print ("False")
if e[0].isupper == True:
print ("True")
I am sure in the first , third and fifth choices should be true.
Right now, I am just testing the first letter of each word.
There's a difference between e[0].isupper which refers to the method
itself, and e[0].isupper() which then calls that method. Call the
method, and you should be good to go.

For the OP use the interactive prompt to see for yourself. Compare:-
'no'.isupper
<built-in method isupper of str object at 0x0000000003D14FB8>
'no'.isupper()
False
That would work now, but I didn't even know no.isupper() was command
until 15 min ago. :)
I have been told that one is a method and the other calls a method. I
still have to learn exactly what that means. I'm getting there.
Thanks
Slow down a little :) 'no' is a string, isupper is just one of many
methods that any string has. Try typing help('no') into the interactive
prompt and see what you get.
