Answer 1

alive = []
died = []
dusted = []
with open("avengers.txt") as f:
    for i in f:
        i = i.strip()
        if '<alive>' in i:
            alive.append(i.replace('<alive>', ''))
        if '<died>' in i:
            died.append(i.replace('<died>', ''))
        if '<dusted>' in i:
            dusted.append(i.replace('<dusted>', ''))

print('****alive****')
print(str(alive))
print('****died****')
print(str(died))
print('****dusted****')
print(str(dusted))
