+# Mentoring
+
+## Reasonable Solutions
+
+### Solution 1: Straightforward Iteration
+
+```Python
+def recite(start_verse, end_verse):
+    verses = []
+    for i in range(start_verse - 1, end_verse):
+        clause = " ".join(VERSES[i::-1])  
+        verses.append(f"This is {clause}")
+    return verses
+```
+#### Explanation:
+- Directly starts the loop at start_verse - 1 to avoid unnecessary iterations.
+- Uses slicing VERSES[i::-1] to efficiently reverse the order of verses within the clause.
+
+
+### Solution 2: List Comprehension
+
+```Python
+def recite(start_verse, end_verse):
+    return [f"This is {' '.join(VERSES[i::-1])}" for i in range(start_verse - 1, end_verse)]
+```
+#### Explanation:
+- Uses list comprehension for a concise way to build the verses list.
+
+## Common Suggestions
+- Optimize the Loop:By starting the loop at start_verse - 1 instead of 0, we can avoid unnecessary iterations and directly jump to the relevant part of the rhyme.
+- Slicing: Python's list slicing offers an elegant and efficient way to extract a portion of a list.
+- Naming Conventions: Using all capital letters for constants like VERSES is a good practice in Python.
+- Error Handling:  It's a good practice to add checks for invalid inputs, such as:
+```
+   start_verse being less than 1 or greater than the length of VERSES
+   end_verse being less than start_verse or greater than the length of VERSES.
+```
+
+## Talking Points
+- Alternative Approaches: Potential use of recursion.
+- The "House that Jack Built" rhyme has a recursive structure. We can use recursion to build the clauses
