Consider the following statement. Assume that all sets are subsets of a universal set \( U \).

For all sets \( A \) and \( B \), if \( A \subseteq B \) then \( B^C \subseteq A^C \).

Use an element argument to construct a proof for the statement by putting selected sentences from the following scrambled list in the correct order.

1. By definition of complement, \( x \notin B \).

2. Suppose \( A \) and \( B \) are any sets such that \( A \subseteq B \), and suppose \( x \in B^C \).

3. Suppose \( A \) and \( B \) are any sets such that \( A \subseteq B \), and suppose \( x \in B \).

4. Therefore, by definition of complement \( x \in A^C \), and thus, by definition of subset, \( B^C \subseteq A^C \).

5. If \( x \) were in \( A \), then \( x \) would have to be in \( B \) by definition of subset. But \( x \notin B \), and so \( x \notin A \).

6. Hence, \( x \in A \), because \( A \cap B = \emptyset \).

**Proof:**

1. Suppose \( A \) and \( B \) are any sets such that \( A \subseteq B \), and suppose \( x \in B^C \).

2. By definition of complement, \( x \notin B \).

3. If \( x \) were in \( A \), then \( x \) would have to be in \( B \) by definition of subset. But \( x \notin B \), and so \( x \notin A \).

4. Therefore, by definition of complement \( x \in A^C \), and thus, by definition of subset, \( B^C \subseteq A^C \).
