#exercise 1
print("It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."[:33])

#exercise 2
print("""  "Hi"  """)

#exercise 3
print('A screaming comes across the sky.'.replace('s', '$'))

#exercise 4
print("Hemingway".index('m'))

Exercise 3 needs to be checked. The IDE is falsely flagging a correct solution, including the one proposed here, because the word "across" in the solution is missing an "s".
