MMW Practice Exercise 1

This document contains a practice exercise on sets and operations with 18 multiple choice questions testing concepts such as defining sets, determining if sets are equal, finding elements of sets, determining cardinal numbers of sets, properties of the empty set, distinguishing between finite and infinite sets, and performing set operations like union and intersection. The questions cover basic set theory topics like writing sets based on given properties, determining if elements are members of sets, and evaluating statements about sets and their relationships.
