If x is a natural number and x < 4, what are the possible values?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x ∈ {1, 2, 3}

The governing ideas are the meaning of a strict inequality and the stated domain of x. Since x is a natural number, use the school convention that natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, and so on. The condition x < 4 permits only natural numbers smaller than 4, namely 1, 2, and 3. The number 4 is excluded because the inequality is strict, not ≤. Option B includes 0, which is not included under this convention; options C and D contain values that are at least 4. Therefore option A gives the complete solution set. If a textbook defines natural numbers to include 0, the convention should be stated, but here the supplied choices clearly use the positive-natural-number convention.
