I have a lab to complete that requires the following:
Become the ‘pseudo’ user, using the previously discovered password. What is the token contained in the file /root/token.txt?
I have completed the first part and become user pseudo.
The second part I am stuck on, whenever I try to access the root folder I get:
pseudo@sudo:/$ cd /root//token.txt
bash: cd: /root//token.txt: Permission denied
pseudo@sudo:/$
I know I am doing something obviously wrong and have got to the stage of not being able to see the wood for the trees, but any advice would be gratefully received.

Pseudo-user, not being root, obviously can't access the /root folder. Maybe you should try it withsudo? Since this is a lab/homework question, you should ask for your teacher/tutor for help.

Try this way (if you finished first part)
Switch on Pseudo user account (command: su pseudo) - Password obtained in first part of this lab is needed
Use any text editor to find token value (command: sudo vi /root/token.txt)
