Catching up on a very old issue! I am fine with any of the options listed. I originally put in this PR because the ? notation is used in the example, and so the explanation should refer to what is in the example.

I'm helping the current lesson Maintainers process outstanding pull requests on this repository, in preparation for transition to the new lesson infrastructure. Thank you for contributing, @maneesha.

I agree that the lesson could be improved with an explanation of ?, given that it is used in the example code block. Of the three options @maxim-belkin listed, I would be most in favour of the second ("Expand the sentence to mention the built-in help() function + clarify that in Jupyter notebooks we can use topic? notation"), so I am going to suggest a change to the PR.

We have until the end of this month to get these changes merged, before the Workbench transition forces us to close the PR.
