    We are asked to find the number of combinations in which the 4 remaining flowers can be given to 4 flowers.

    When she gives the next teacher a flower, there are 4 options. Next, there will only be 3 options since one flower was given away. Next there will be 2 options, and finally there will only be 1 flower left.

    This means that there are:

    4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24 ways to give the remaining flowers.

    The answer is 24.
