Given the following sets, select the statement below that is true.
A = {l, a, t, e, r}, B = {l, a, t, e},
C = {t, a, l, e}, D = {e, a, t}
To determine the true statement, we need to compare the given sets A, B, C, and D. Let's evaluate each statement:
1. A ⊂ B: This statement means that set A is a subset of set B, meaning that all elements of A are also contained in B. In this case, A has an extra element "r" that is not present in B. Therefore, statement 1 is false.
2. B ⊂ A: This statement means that set B is a subset of set A, meaning that all elements of B are also contained in A. In this case, all elements of B are also present in A. Therefore, statement 2 is true.
3. B ⊂ C: This statement means that all elements of B are also present in C. In this case, all elements of B are also present in C. Therefore, statement 3 is true.
4. B ⊂ D: This statement means that all elements of B are also present in D. In this case, all elements of B are also present in D. Therefore, statement 4 is true.
Therefore, the true statement is statement 2, which is: B ⊂ A.
