The question is to figure out the rule being used to make pairs in eaach person's hand, and how many pairs does Zach have?

I guess I don't see what is so hard about this question. The matching could be on number.
Ariel might have A, A, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4
John might have 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9
Melinda might have 10, J, Q, K, 7, 8, 9
Am I missing something? And why don't we have information about Zach's pairs?
