The statement "No P are M" means that there is no overlap between the P circle and the M circle. Therefore, areas 2, 3, and 4, which represent the non-existent overlap, should be shaded. There are no markings required in areas 1, 5, 6, and 7 because there is no information given about whether P or M exist in those areas.
