Question

The question asks what the result is from taking the union of two sets in Python. 
First, restating the given data: fruit2 is a set containing 'blueberry', 'lemon', and 'grapes'. fruit3 is a set containing 'apple', 'banana', 'pears', and 'kiwi'. The operation performed is fruit2.union(fruit3), and the variable fruit will hold the resulting set.
Option 1: {'blueberry', 'lemon', 'grapes', 'apple', 'banana', 'pears', 'kiwi'}. This corresponds to the union of the two original sets, containing all elements from both: the three elements from fruit2 plus the four elements from fruit3, with no duplicates since sets ignore duplicates. 
Option 2: {'blueberry', 'lemon', 'grapes'}. This is exactly the contents of fruit2 alone, not including anything from fruit3, so it would represent just fruit2 rather than the union.
Option 3: {} (the empty set). An empty result would imply that both inputs were empty sets, which is not the case here, as each set has elements.
Option 4: {'apple', 'banana', 'pears', 'kiwi'}. This matches only the contents of fruit3, not the full union, so it misses the elements from fruit2.
To determine which option aligns with a union operation, recall that set.union combines all distinct elements from both sets. Since fruit2 and fruit3 have no overlapping elements in this example, the union should include all seven fruits: blueberry, lemon, grapes, apple, banana, pears, and kiwi. The option that lists exactly these seven items is the correct representation of the union, though note that the order of elements in a set is not fixed and may appear in any sequence.
In summary, Option 1 presents the complete union of both sets, including every element from fruit2 and every element from fruit3, without introducing any duplicates; the other options each omit part of the data by including only one of the two original sets or by listing an empty set.
