This seems like a typo to me, In the QuestionAnswering section, inside the fuction preprocess_training_examples(examples) there is a loop that finds the end position of the answer, the following code is in the course page.
# Find the start and end of the context
idx = 0
while sequence_ids[idx] != 1:
idx += 1
context_start = idx
while sequence_ids[idx] == 1:
idx += 1
context_end = idx - 1
This gives an index out-of-range error. I think the correct version is
while sequence_ids[idx] != 1:
idx += 1
context_end = idx - 1
