Explanation:

Step1: Split the original sentence

Original sentence: "My favorite animal is a dog or chipmunk" → split into list: ["My", "favorite", "animal", "is", "a", "dog", "or", "chipmunk"]

Step2: Identify the -3 index

List indices (negative): -8 to -1. -3 index is "dog".

Step3: Replace the -3 index

Change "dog" to "penguin" → new list: ["My", "favorite", "animal", "is", "a", "penguin", "or", "chipmunk"]

Step4: Join the list and print

Join with spaces → "My favorite animal is a penguin or chipmunk"

Answer:

My favorite animal is a penguin or chipmunk
