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.
