) The domain is a group of people. Person x is related to person y under relation S if x is currently the spouse of person y. You can assume that there is no polygamy and that there is at least one person who is married to another person in the group.   b.) The domain is the set of all integers. xEy if x + y is even. An integer z is even if z = 2k for some integer k.
