To determine the number of elements in the set [tex]\( A = \{b, c, d, e, \ldots, o\} \)[/tex], we start by identifying the elements that constitute the set.
First, let's list out the elements explicitly:
[tex]\[ b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o \][/tex]
Next, we count each element one by one:
1. [tex]\( b \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( c \)[/tex]
3. [tex]\( d \)[/tex]
4. [tex]\( e \)[/tex]
5. [tex]\( f \)[/tex]
6. [tex]\( g \)[/tex]
7. [tex]\( h \)[/tex]
8. [tex]\( i \)[/tex]
9. [tex]\( j \)[/tex]
10. [tex]\( k \)[/tex]
11. [tex]\( l \)[/tex]
12. [tex]\( m \)[/tex]
13. [tex]\( n \)[/tex]
14. [tex]\( o \)[/tex]
From this list, we can see that there are exactly 14 elements in the set.
Therefore, the set [tex]\( A \)[/tex] has 14 elements.
[tex]\[
\boxed{14}
\][/tex]
