What is well defined collection of an object with an example

Solution
Here “well defined” means that any given object in the world at large (abstract or concrete) is either an element of S or it isn't.
Example: “The collection of young people that are residents of Minnesota” is not a set. What does it mean be "young"? To someone that is 80 years old, a person that is 40 is young, but a 20 year old person may not consider 40 to be young. The word “young” is an ambiguous term. Hence, the collection is not well-defined.
Example: “The collection of residents of Minnesota between the ages of 18 and 25 years old inclusive” is a well-defined set since it is fairly clear who would belong to this collection.
