I am confused by this question. In general, an
expression, is either a list or not a list.

So what is

         {a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, i}

supposed to be? it is not a list. and it is not not a list
either. So, I do not know what it is.

Unless you asking for a much more basic question such
as using an idex to access an entry in a list?

lis={{a,b,c},{d,e,f},{g,h,i}}
lis[[1]]
lis[[2]]
lis[[3]]

Out[89]= {a,b,c}
Out[90]= {d,e,f}
Out[91]= {g,h,i}
