Paper 1 · Logical Reasoning
Consider the following statements about the proposition 'Some girls are not students'.
- The subject term 'girls' is distributed
- The predicate term 'students' is undistributed
- The predicate term 'students' is distributed
- The subject term 'girls' is undistributed
A1 and 3
B2 and 3
C1 and 4
D3 and 4 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 3 and 4 — Statements 3 and 4 are correct, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Statements 3 and 4 are correct, so that is the answer.
★'Some girls are not students' is a particular negative (O) proposition.
★An O proposition distributes the predicate but not the subject.
★So the predicate 'students' is distributed, making statement 3 correct.
★The subject 'girls' is undistributed, making statement 4 correct.
★So the answer is 3 and 4.
