[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

A. The probability of picking the first almond cookie is 3/6 = 1/2.

B. Since the first almond cookie is not replaced, there are now only 2 almond cookies left out of a total of 5 cookies. Therefore, the probability of picking the second almond cookie is 2/5.

C. Probability of picking 1 almond cookie followed by a second almond cookie = (1/2) * (2/5) = 1/5.

D. The probability of picking 1 almond cookie followed by a second almond cookie is 1/5, which is equivalent to 20%.
