Two cards are drawn from a standard deck of cards. The first card is NOT put back into the deck after being drawn. What is the probability that the first card is a diamond OR the second card is a face card?

A) 17/52
B) 25/52
C) 433/2652
D) 1131/2652

Can someone please explain how to get the correct answer (which is D). I'm coming close but am off slightly.

You probability forgot to subtract the intersection. It is a common mistake.
