Select the Venn diagram that best represents the relationship between the following classes.
Politicians, Poets, Women
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) →
In a Venn diagram two circles overlap when some members belong to both classes, one circle lies inside another when every member of the first belongs to the second, and circles stay apart when the classes have no common member.
Some politicians are poets and some are not, so these two circles overlap
Some politicians are women, and some poets are women
A woman can be a politician and a poet at the same time, so all three circles overlap, with a common region, as in Option (1)
