how did the teacher know that specifically the 4th child was causing the problem?

Here he was creating the portfolio with 3-columns. Since we want 3 items on each row, we need to clear every 4th list item. I think he purposely demonstrated it that way so that the student could see what would happen without using nth-child. If you were making a 4-column row, the same thing would happen, but you would have to clear every 5th list item. Make sense?
