1 answer

To determine the set that represents the favorable outcomes of randomly choosing a consonant letter from the word "movers," we first identify the letters in the word:

  • m
  • o
  • v
  • e
  • r
  • s

Next, let's identify which of these letters are consonants and which are vowels. The vowels in the English language are a, e, i, o, and u.

From the letters in "movers":

  • Consonants: m, v, r, s
  • Vowels: o, e

Thus, the consonants are {m, v, r, s}.

Now we can look at the provided options:

A) { o, e } - This is incorrect because o and e are vowels. B) { m, v, r, s } - This is correct because these are all the consonants. C) { v, r, s } - This is incorrect because it excludes the consonant m. D) { m, o, v, e, r, s } - This is incorrect because this set includes vowels.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B) { m, v, r, s }
