If a set contains elements that are *themselves* sets, then would it be correct to say that one of those elements is a subset of the set?
E.g.
Q = { {a}, {b}, {c} }
I know that { {a} } is a subset of Q (because it contains ONE of the elements)
But is {a} a subset of Q?
I don't think so, because none of the elements of {a} are present in Q.
