Answer 1

To modify a set in Python, use the remove() method to remove a name and the add() method to add a different name.

Step-by-step explanation:

To modify a set in Python, you can use the methods remove() and add(). To remove a name from the male_names set, you can use the remove() method by passing the name as an argument. To add a different name to the set, you can use the add() method by passing the new name as an argument. Here's an example:

male_names = {'Oliver', 'Declan', 'Henry'}

# Remove 'Oliver'
male_names.remove('Oliver')

# Add 'Atlas'
male_names.add('Atlas')

print(male_names)

The output of the above code will be:

{'Atlas', 'Declan', 'Henry'}
