Problem says this, and it is a multiple choice question: Given the following sets, select the statement below that is NOT true. A = {b, l, a, z, e, r} B = {b, a, l, e} C = {a, b, l, e} D = {l, a, b} E = {a, b, l} You need to learn the difference betweeen ⊂ and ⊆. It's like the difference between < and ≤. A line under either symbol means "EQUALITY IS ALLOWED BUT NOT REQUIRED", When there is no line underneath, it means "EQUALITY IS NOT ALLOWED". Multiple choice possibilities: 1. E ⊂ A, TRUE because "a,b,&l" are all part of but not all of "b,l,a,z,&e" 2. C ⊂ A, TRUE because "a,b,l,&e" are all part of but not all of "b,l,a,z,&e 3. D ⊆ B, TRUE because "l,a,&b" is part of or all of "b,a,l,&e". 4. C ⊂ B, FALSE because "a,b,l,&e" is ALL OF, not just part of "b,a,l,&e" 5. D ⊂ A, TRUE because "l,a,&b" are all part of but not all of "b,l,a,z,&e" Edwin
