If V = {x : x is a letter of the English alphabet}, what kind of set is V?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Finite set
The governing concept is the number of elements in a set. The English alphabet contains exactly 26 letters, so V has a fixed and limited number of elements. A set with a definite limited cardinality is called a finite set. It is not empty because letters exist, not infinite because the number is bounded, and the description clearly defines its members. Therefore, option A is correct.
