The expected answer is probably difference, whereas it should be "ordered difference".
This is because addition is commutative but subtraction is not. That is to say, addition of 3 and 4 gives the answer 7, whether it is calculated as 3 + 4 or as 4 + 3.
However,
the result of subtraction of 3 and 4 depends on whether you calculate 3 - 4 (= -1) or 4 - 3 (= 1). The difference, in either case is 1 but the ordered difference is the figure in the bracket.
