" Now assign the value returned by alphabet.find(text[0]) to a variable named index . Then, print its value."

It is telling you to to assign the variable ‘index’ to the code “aphabet.find(text[0])” this means when you call the variable It finds the first character within the variable text which is ‘Hello World’ which would be H but since the variable ‘alphabet’ only contains lower case letters it returns -1

I just started learning python today lemme know if this helped you.
