Answer 1

To find the missing pairs of sons who could get a haircut, let's first list out all possible combinations of Val's four sons: Hal (H), Cal (C), Sal (S), and Mal (M).

The combinations of two sons can be expressed as follows:

1. H and C
2. H and S
3. H and M
4. C and S
5. C and M
6. S and M

From the given choices:

• H and C
• H and S
• ?
• ?
• C and M
• M and S

We can see that:

• The pair "H and M" is the missing combination that was given as an option.
• The other option must be "C and S" since it's the only pair left that we haven't accounted for in the provided choices and also exists in our list.

Therefore, the complete set of choices looks as follows:

1. H and C
2. H and S
3. H and M
4. C and S
5. C and M
6. M and S

Thus, the missing pairs are:

H and M and C and S.
