1. suppose d = {\peter\:41, \anthony\:44}, to delete the entry for \peter\:41, use ______.

d.delete(\peter\:41)
del d(\peter\:41)
d.delete(\peter\)
del d\peter\

Explanation:

1. In the first code - the getFromAnimalList function generates a random index within the range of the input list and returns the element at that index from the list. So it will return a random animal from animalList.
2. In Python, lists are denoted by square - brackets []. So [7, 8, 9] is a Python list. Curly - brackets {} are used for sets or dictionaries, and parentheses () are used for tuples.
3. In Python, to delete an item from a dictionary, we use the del keyword followed by the dictionary name and the key in square - brackets. So to delete the entry for "peter" in the dictionary d, we use del d["peter"].

Answer:

1. A. A random animal from animalList.
2. D. [7, 8, 9]
3. D. del d["peter"]
