Using the given syllogistic form, we can construct the following Venn diagram:

_______
        |       |
        |   M   |
        |___|___|
       /     |     \
      /      |      \
 ___|___   |   ___|___
|       |  |  |       |
|  S   |  |  |   P   |
|___|___|  |  |___|___|
    1      2      3

We know that some P are not M and some M are S, which means there is an X on the line between areas 2 and 3. We also know that some S are not P, which means there is an X on the line between areas 6 and 7. Therefore, the best choice is option B: There is an X on the line between areas 2 and 3 and between areas 6 and 7.
