This syllogism states that all M are P, which means that area 1 (M but not P) is empty, and all M are in area 2 (M and P). Therefore, areas 1 and 2 are shaded. There is no information about whether any non-M objects can be in area 3 (not M and not P), so an X is placed there to indicate that it is unknown.
