Assignment objective:

The purpose of this assignment is to help you understand and practice creating sets of other sets and performing some set operations such as union, intersections and differences and calculating cardinality of sets.

Problem:

In the list below the most $50$ verbs used in English language based on the Lingolia web site $($Suppose that the U includes all these verbs$)$:

Ask, be$,$ become, bring, buy, call, can, choose, come, do$,$ drink, eat, feel, find, get, give, go$,$ have, hear, help, know, learn, like, listen, live, look, make, need, pay, play, put, read, say, see, send, show, sleep, start, stay, take, talk, tell, think, try, use, walk, want, watch, work, and write.

Question $1$: Write the following sets:

$1-$ A$\_$VERB, the set includes the verbs that start with a letter a

$2-$ VERB$\_$A$,$ the set includes the verbs that have a letter a

$3-$ B$\_$VERB, the set includes the verbs that start with a letter b

$4-$ VERB$\_$E$,$ the set includes the verbs that have a letter e

$5-$ S$\_$VERB, the set includes the verbs that start with a letter s

Question $2$: Find the following sets:

$1-$ B$\_$VERB $$ VERB$\_$A

$2-$ S$\_$VERB $$ VERB$\_$A

$3-$ S$\_$VERB $-$ VERB$\_$A

$4-$ VERB$\_$A $-$ B$\_$VERB

Question $3$: Find the cardinality of set VERB$\_$A and set B$\_$VERB?

Question $4$: Find the cardinality of B$\_$VERB $$ VERB$\_$A$?$

Note: please write the answer by hand and submit your work in Blackboard portal.
