The complete question is:

Fiona chooses three towels from a group of five to pack in her beach bag for herself and her two brothers. Let the five towels be represented by A,B,C,D, and E. If Fiona chooses towel A for herself, which statements about the possible outcomes for her brothers’ towels are true? Check all that apply.

-There are 10 possible ways to choose the group of towels.

-The combination BC is not the same as CB.

-She has four choices for the first brother’s towel and three choices for the second brother’s towel.

-ABC, ABD, ABE, ACD, ACE, and ADE are the possible outcomes.

-If Fiona did not choose towel A for herself, there would be more outcomes.

Answer:

The correct options are;

-She has four choices for the first brother’s towel and three choices for the second brother’s towel.

-ABC, ABD, ABE, ACD, ACE, and ADE are the possible outcomes.

-If Fiona did not choose towel A for herself, there would be more outcomes.

Explanation:

The question says fiona is choosing from five towels be represented by A,B,C,D, and E.

Now, she chooses towel A for herself.

Which means she has 4 towels left to pick for her brothers

Thus;

-She has four choices for the first brother’s towel and three choices for the second brother’s towel.

- Also, ABC, ABD, ABE, ACD, ACE, and ADE are the possible outcomes of the choices of the three towels.

-If fiona didn't choose towel A for herself, there would be more options in terms of what she chooses for the 2 brothers.
