Answer 1

Answer:

import random

def name_change( name: list ) -> list :

   choice = random.choice( name )

   choice_index = name.index( choice )

   name.pop( choice_index )

   return name

Explanation:

The python source code above makes use of the random package to select an item from a list in the function "name_change" and the index of that item is gotten fro the list and popped from the list "name", then the name is returned.

To call the function, assign it to a variable and add a list ( must be a list ) as its argument then print the result.
