Show answer & explanation
Final answer: the diagram with three circles that all overlap pairwise and have a central triple-overlap region.
Why this is correct:
There is no subset relationship between Authors, Professors, and Men: authors and professors include both men and women, so neither authors nor professors are entirely contained within men, and men are not entirely contained within either authors or professors.
Authors and Professors can overlap: some people can be both authors and professors.
There can be men who are neither authors nor professors, and there can be authors or professors who are not men (women).
Therefore we need a diagram that allows: only Authors, only Professors, only Men, Authors∩Professors, Authors∩Men, Professors∩Men, and Authors∩Professors∩Men.
The three overlapping circles diagram provides exactly these regions, so it correctly represents the relationships among Authors, Professors, and Men.
