I am trying to read once sentence at a time and in each sentence I am trying to access one word at a time.... I am able to get the things i need individually but the loop doesn’t not iterate... it stops after first iteration....

with open(sys.argv[2]) as f:
for line in f: #iterate over each line
#print("-"*10) just for demo
for word in line.rstrip().split(): #remove \n then split by space
print(word)
Over your file would produce

To answer your question why the loop doesn't iterate:
range(0,1)
contains only the element 0, since the upper bound is not included in the result. Similarly,
range(0,5)
would, when viewed as a list, be [0,1,2,3,4].
The correct way to iterate over a file is demonstrated by @HennyH's answer.
