Answer 2

Inside the function you'd have to write:

if scores[name] == ...
return 'A'

or whatever Delete that final return statement.

Then you call the function, for example like this:

for name in scores:
print(name, scores[name],
grade(name))

If you don't want your function to access the dictionary directly, I would change it to take only the score:

def grade(score):
if score ==...

Then call it by:

print(grade(scores[name])))

One more thing: In Python you can simplify your conditions:

if 60 < points < 75:
...
