Given below are two statements. Statement I: In the Square of Opposition, the opposition between a universal proposition and its corresponding particular proposition is known as subalternation. Statement II: The opposition between 'No S is P' and 'Some S is not P' is called subalternation. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
- Statement I: The opposition between a universal proposition and its corresponding particular proposition is subalternation.
- Statement II: The opposition between 'No S is P' and 'Some S is not P' is called subalternation.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true ✓ Correct
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true — The answer is that both statements are true.
Explanation
★The answer is that both statements are true.
★Subalternation is exactly the relation between a universal proposition and its matching particular one, so Statement I is true.
★The pair 'No S is P' and 'Some S is not P' are the universal negative and the particular negative.
★So the opposition between them is subalternation, making Statement II true.
★Both describe the same subaltern relationship correctly.
★So both statements hold together.
★So the answer is that both statements are true.
