Answer 1

Firstly, you don't call s()
Secondly, you put return in for loop, so the loop executes only once
You don't have balanced parenthesis - more ( than )
You can't create list from a number
use return sum([d[i] for i in x]) instead of loop
or in each iteration of loop do a+=d[i] (count sum manually)
