"No P are M" means that the entire P circle is outside the M circle. "Some S are M" means that there is some overlap between the S and M circles. From this, we can conclude that the shaded area should include the overlap between S and M, but not any part of the P circle. Additionally, since there is no statement about all S being M or not being M, area 2 (outside both S and M) and area 7 (inside both S and M) cannot be shaded. Therefore, the best choice is B, which shades areas 3 and 4 (part of S and M overlap), and includes an X in area 2 (outside both S and M).
