Subset A of a set B requires that all the elements of A be elements of B.

For example, {4,5} is a subset of {1,2,3,4,5} because both 4 and 5 are in {1,2,3,4,5}. However, {2,3} is not a subset of {2,4,6,8,10} because at least one element (3) is in {2,3} but not in {2,4,6,8,10}.

Based on this, try to find the set/subset pairs. There are three.
