1. The problem is to evaluate the expression $4) (5)(3 - 1) + 4$. 2. First, simplify inside the parentheses: $3 - 1 = 2$. 3. Substitute back: $4) (5)(2) + 4$. 4. Multiply $5 \times 2 = 10$. 5. Now the expression is $4) (10) + 4$. 6. The $4)$ seems to be a typo or extraneous, so we consider the expression as $10 + 4$. 7. Add $10 + 4 = 14$. 8. Therefore, the answer is 14, which corresponds to option A.
