Since the statement "No S are P" means that there is no overlap between the S and P circles, this can be represented in a Venn diagram by leaving those two circles completely separate. Therefore, only Area 2 (the space outside of both circles) is shaded. There are no X's present because the statement does not give any information about what may or may not be in those areas.
