Either is placed because of subject and predicate. If the subject and predicate for two options are given the same then the answer will be either.

Only 1 and 4 follow is correct. But either 2 or 3 is doubtful. Because there is another option that all sticker is key.
So, apart from 2 and 3, there is a 3rd possibility is there.

There is either 2 or 3 given because a complementary pair is a type in which both conclusions are not true at a time and are not false at the same time.
So, from both conclusions, one has to be true while the other has to be wrong. When the answer given like either 1 follows or 2 follows, it is a case of complimentary syllogism.

For an either-or statement one or both of the conclusions can be true from different possibilities. Option 3 is true from figure 1. Option 2 is true from other two figures. Hence we can compound the statement 'either 2 or 3' with 1 and 2 using 'and'.
