A particular affirmative (I) proposition distributes
ASubject only
BPredicate only
CBoth subject and predicate
DNeither subject nor predicate ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Neither subject nor predicate — A particular affirmative distributes neither term, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★A particular affirmative distributes neither term, so that is the answer.
★'Some S is P' takes only part of the subject, so the subject is undistributed.
★It also does not cover all of the predicate, so the predicate is undistributed.
★This is the standard rule for the I proposition.
★So neither subject nor predicate is distributed.
★So the answer is neither subject nor predicate.
