BUILD THE REASONING

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Apply basic operations on sets with explicit conditions.
And / or: Intersection uses both conditions; union uses at least one.
$A\cap B,\quad A\cup B$
Complement: A complement is relative to a specified universal set.
$U\setminus A$
Close with: conditions → representation → reasoning → check.
