Explanation
This question tests understanding of probability using a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The context clearly states that the deck has 4 suits (spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs) with 13 cards each. Clubs and spades are black, while hearts and diamonds are red. Kings, queens, and jacks are called face cards. The total number of possible outcomes when drawing one card is 52. Each part requires counting favourable outcomes based on these definitions.
