Some questions about some examples in "sieve methods" in the book "Opera de Cribro" by Friedlander and Iwaniec

I am reading the book "Opera de Cribro - John B. Friedlander, Henryk Iwaniec" and in pages 5,6 I do not understand why and how they chose $X$, $A(x)$, $A_d(x)$, $g(p)$ and $r_d(x)$.

any hints will be appreciated.
