Answer 2

Answer: Finding the number of ways to choose 4 letters out of 12

Explanation:

The two situations above didn’t even mention letters. One situation mentioned carrot and broccoli out of 10 vegetables. The other situation mentioned Al, Bob and Carl out of a class of 30 students.

The number of letters (4) out of total letters (10) doesn’t matter because it wasn’t one of the two previously mentioned situations.
