2. Let A = {a, b, c, d} and let R = {(a, b),(b, a),(c, c),(b, c),(c, b),(a, c),(c, a),(d, d)} be a relation

on A.
Determine if R is...
(a) reflexive
(b) symmetric
(c) antisymmetric
(d) transitive

I'm not sure how to start this problem and would like to know how to start this

first, review the properties. For example,
(a) R is not reflexive, because you do not have (a,a) or (b,b)
