Answer

See answer below

Work Step by Step

Let $S$ be the set set of $2 \times 2$ real matrices whose entries are either all zero or all nonzero. We have $A=\begin{bmatrix} -1& 1\\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1& 1\\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ are all in $S$. But if we take $A+B=\begin{bmatrix} -1& 1\\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix} 1& 1\\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2\\ 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ then $A+B$ is not in $S$. Hence $S$ do not form a vector spcae over $R$
