I'm not quite understanding the explanation, or what the question is even asking. Anyone care to politely put it in simpler terms? Or in words or in a way that would make it easy for me to see?

A set is a collection of distinct and well-defined objects or elements. These objects can be numbers, letters, symbols, or any other type of object.
The three main types of sets are finite, infinite, and empty. Finite sets have a specific number of elements, while infinite sets have an unlimited number of elements. Empty sets have no elements.
The cardinality of a set is the number of elements it contains. It is denoted by the symbol "n" or "|" followed by the set name. For example, if a set contains the numbers 1, 2, 3, its cardinality would be 3.
The intersection of two sets is the set of elements that are common to both sets. This means that if set A and set B have elements in common, the intersection of A and B would be a new set containing those common elements.
Set-builder notation is a mathematical notation used to represent sets. It consists of a description of the elements in the set, followed by a vertical bar "|" and a condition that the elements must satisfy. For example, the set of even numbers can be represented as {x | x is an integer and x is divisible by 2}.
