zip() is Python built-in function and you can read about in Python documentation.

f-string is available in Python 3.6 or newer. You can read about them in PEP 498 -- Literal String Interpolation .

Don't limit yourself to 'the book'. Be curious and try to learn and understand whether it is in book or not.

If you want to limit yourself only to for-loop then you can to something like that:

>>> sequentials = ['first', 'second', 'third', 'fourth']
>>> for i in range(1, 5):
...     print('The {} element of the list is {} with sum {}'.format(sequentials[i-1], list(range(1, i+1)), sum(range(1, i+1))))
The first element of the list is [1] with sum 1
The second element of the list is [1, 2] with sum 3
The third element of the list is [1, 2, 3] with sum 6
The fourth element of the list is [1, 2, 3, 4] with sum 10
This code uses .format method which is somewhat 'older' nowadays, one resource to get acquainted with this string metohd is Using % and .format() for great good!.
