2 DEC FS Q.14
- Option : A
- Explanation : A categorical proposition asserts a relation
of inclusion or exclusion, complete or
partial, between two classes (collection
of all objects which have some specified
characteristic in common)
While the quantity of a categorical proposition is determined by whether or not it refers to all members of its subject class (i.e., the proposition is either universal or particular in quantity); the quality is determined by whether the asserted class relation is one of inclusion or exclusion (i.e., the proposition is either affirmative or negative in quality- ARE or ARE NOT)
The four statements are: A, E, I, and 0
1. A-universal affirmative: All S is P.
2. E-universal negative: No S is P.
3. I-particular affirmative: Some S is P.
4. O-particular negative: Some S is not P.
