1. complement = everything not in X
X' = {b, d, f}

2. union = items in both sets
Y U Z = {a, b, c, d, e, f}

**(fixed, confused union with intersection)

The correct answer to the second question regarding the  UNION  is  THIS


                    union of  Y  and  Z = Y U Z = {a,b,c,d,e,f}.


It is the collection of elements that belong to at least one of the two subsets  Y  or  Z.
