2. A different group with $3$ elements, if possible
3. A group with $4$ elements
4. A different group with $4$ elements, if possible
5. An infinite group

Did you decide to use your definition that used to be in the wiki? I would potentially change this to be

• by $\textbf{explicitly}$ giving a set, defining the binary operation, stating the inverse of each element, and identifying the identity.
• Do you want them to show that the group axioms hold? I could see a student doing all the above but failing to check associativity. They'll get lucky most likely with small sets…
