Statement II:The extensional meaning consists of the members of the class that the term denotes
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect while Statement 2 is correct.
A term connotes its attributes but denotes the members of its class.
The intensional meaning is the set of qualities a term connotes, not denotes.
Statement 1 wrongly ties the attributes to what the term denotes.
Statement 2 rightly says extensional meaning is the members the term denotes.
Keeping connotation for attributes and denotation for members shows why only Statement 2 stands.
