Question
When asked if the sets {azalea, sunflower, orchid, chrysanthemum} and {azalea, orchid, chrysanthemum, sunflower} are equal, Noah responded "No". Explain why you think Noah answered as he did. What is he
misunderstanding?
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. For two sets to be equal, they must contain the same elements without repetition. Since the sets are equal, Noah must have misread the elements in the sets.
O B. For two sets to be equal, they must contain the same number of elements. Since the sets are equal, Noah must have miscounted the number of elements in the set.
O C. For two sets to be equal, they must both contain exactly the same elements. Since the sets are equal, Noah must misunderstand that the only requirement for sets to be equal is that they contain exactly the same
elements.
O D. For two sets to be equal, they must contain the same elements in the same order. Since the sets are not equal, Noah is not misunderstanding anything.
