There are 13 hearts in a deck, so the first card drawn being a heart can happen in 13 ways. After drawing a heart, there are 51 cards left, and among them, 4 are aces. So, the second card being an ace can happen in 4 ways. However, one of those aces is a heart, which cannot be drawn as the first card is already a heart. Thus, there are 3 aces suitable for the second draw. The total number of ways is the product of the two stages: 13 ways for the first draw and 3 ways for the second, giving 13 * 3 = 39 ways. However, the correct answer is not listed, indicating a mistake in my explanation. The correct approach should consider the sequence of draws and the specific conditions given, but without the correct options or a mistake in reasoning, the detailed calculation might involve different considerations.
