Since the label "Nuts & Bolts" is wrong, whatever you pull out is what that box contains.
Move the "Nuts & Bolts" label to the box labeled with the other item, and its label to the remaining box.
Example: If "Nuts & Bolts" contained a nut, then place the "Nuts" label on it.
The box with the "Bolts" label can not be bolts (because we know it's labeled wrong) and it can't be nuts because we just found the box of nuts, therefore, it must be "Nuts & Bolts."
The remaining box is the only remaining item - bolts.
