    Question

    When two propositions with the same subject and predicate terms agree in quality but differ in quantity, they are known as:

    A.

    Contraries

    B.

    Sub-Contraries

    C.

    Contradictory

    D.

    Corresponding

    Correct option is D

    Corresponding propositions are those that maintain the same subject and predicate terms and share quality, but differ in quantity. For example, "All dogs are mammals" (universal affirmative) and "Some dogs are mammals" (particular affirmative) are considered corresponding because they have the same subject ("dogs") and predicate ("mammals") and agree in quality (affirmative), but differ in quantity (one is universal and the other is particular).

    This logical relationship is different from contraries, where propositions differ in both quality and quantity.

    Information Booster:

    1. Corresponding propositions are affirmative in quality and differ in quantity (universal vs. particular).
    2. Contraries differ in both quality and quantity (one is affirmative, the other is negative).
    3. Contradictory propositions always differ in both quality and quantity, with opposite truth values.
    4. Sub-Contraries are particular propositions with differing qualities (one is affirmative, and the other is negative).
    5. Corresponding is a more neutral relationship that does not require both propositions to share the same truth value.
    6. These propositions can be used to express different scopes of a statement while maintaining similar content.
