Which opposition is the relation between two propositions having the same subject and predicate but differing in quantity only?

AContrary
BContradictory
CSub-alternation ✓ Correct
DSub-contrary
Correct answer: (C) Sub-alternation
Explanation

Two propositions with the same subject and predicate differing only in quantity stand in sub-alternation.

The pairs are A with I and E with O.

They share quality but differ in quantity, one universal and one particular.

Truth of the universal forces truth of the particular, but not the reverse.

This same-quality, different-quantity relation is sub-alternation.
