Dear student 
I think the question is complete.
In VSEPR theory, these stereochemically inactive lone pairs are rationalised by placing them in an s-orbital, which is non-directional. An electron pair in an s-orbital has a spherically symmetric electron density, and hence cannot influence the shape of a molecule. However, it is not exactly the orbital that is stereochemically (in)active, it is the electrons, and hence the more frequently seen term is "stereochemically (in)active lone pair".
