Answer 1

The modified program is as follows:

user_input = input()

short_names = list(user_input.split(" "))

short_names.pop(0)

short_names[-1] = "Joe"

print(short_names)

Step-by-step explanation:

This gets the user input

user_input = input()

This converts input to list

short_names = list(user_input.split(" "))

This removes the first item of the list

short_names.pop(0)

This updates the last item to "Joe"

short_names[-1] = "Joe"

This prints the updated list

print(short_names)
