Answer 1

Try print(random.choice(XYZ))

Answer 2

This is exactly what it's suposed to do though.

sample returns a new list.
So, you're just printing a different list.

For example,
If you wrote: print(XYZ);
It would still have those brackets.

The brackets are just showing what is inside the list, which is shown when you print a list.

Answer 3

Yes. Do what @David said.

Answer 4

ok! that worked! thank you so much!

Answer 5

is there any way to tell it to not put it in the brackets?
