Detailed Solution

Let's look at the answer options one by one and check if they are correct:
1. Rolling the dice to get a 4: Since the dice have faces numbered from 1 to 6, it is possible to get a 4 by rolling the dice.
2. Flip a coin to get a tail: Since a coin has two sides called head and tail, it is possible to get a tail in a coin toss.
3. Pick 4 face cards: In a deck of 52 cards, there are only 3 face cards in each set. So it is not possible to select 4 cards from a set called Spades.
4. Roll a die for 6: As seen in option 1 above, there are only 1 to 6 possible outcomes for a die roll. It is possible to roll a 6.
Hence option 3 is correct.
