From the given syllogistic form:
- All P are M. This means that area 2 must be inside area 1.
- All M are S. This means that area 3 must be inside area 2, and area 4 must be inside area 3.
- All S are P. This means that area 6 must be inside area 1, and area 7 must be inside area 3.
Therefore, areas 1, 4, 6, and 7 are shaded because they represent the parts of the circles that contain all three categories (P, M, and S). There are no other marks needed as all the information is already represented by the shaded areas. Answer choices B, C, D, and E are incorrect as they include marks or shaded areas that are not necessary based on the given syllogistic form.
