A universal affirmative (A) proposition distributes the
ASubject only ✓ Correct
BPredicate only
CBoth subject and predicate
DNeither subject nor predicate
Correct answer: (A) Subject only — A universal affirmative distributes the subject only, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★A universal affirmative distributes the subject only, so that is the answer.
★'All S is P' takes the whole subject class, so the subject is distributed.
★But it does not claim S covers all of P, so the predicate is undistributed.
★This matches the standard rule for the A proposition.
★So only the subject is distributed.
★So the answer is subject only.
