# Solution:
# The optimal solution is to use the built-in sum function.
# This is optimal because it is a built-in function and therefore
# it is already optimized.

def sum_list(lst):
    return sum(lst)

print(sum_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))

A.I. Evaluation of the Solution

The candidate's solution is correct and uses the built-in sum function, which is an optimal solution.
