From the article:
a) 1___ 2___ 3___ 4___ 5___ 6___ 7___ 8___ 9___
Thinks of them as a set or subsets of entities and operates on those, or specifies them with plurals. Example: Buy all of the books that are red.
b) 1___ 2___ 3___ 4___ 5___ 6___ 7___ 8___ 9___
Uses iteration (i.e. loop) to operate them explicitly. Example: For each book, if it is red, buy it.
In your case it looks like you are operating on each item and not on the set.
