  1. {1,2}⊂{1,2,3,4}\{1,2\}\subset\{1,2,3,4\}

  2. {1,2,3}⊆{1,2,4}\{1,2,3\}\subseteq\{1,2,4\}

  3. ∅⊆∅\varnothing\subseteq\varnothing

  4. S⊂SS\subset S

  5. S∈{S,∅}S\in\{S,\varnothing\}

  6. {S}∉{S,∅}\{S\}\notin\{S,\varnothing\}

  7. S⊆{S,∅}S\subseteq\{S,\varnothing\} where S≠{∅}S\neq\{\varnothing\}

  8. {S}⊆{S,∅}\{S\}\subseteq\{S,\varnothing\}
