1. If you cannot find a number that is simultaneously greater than 1 and less than 5, then the solution set is empty.

2. If you cannot find a number that is simultaneously greater than 1 and less than -3, then the solution set is empty.

3. If you cannot find a number that is simultaneously greater than -3 and less than 1, then the solution set is empty.

4. If you cannot find a number that is either greater than 1 or less than -3, then the solution set is empty.
