The statement "No P are M" means that there is no overlap between the P circle and the M circle. Therefore, areas 3 and 4 are shaded because they represent the region where P and M do not overlap. Additionally, there is an X on the line between areas 5 and 6 because that represents the region where P and M could potentially overlap, but we know that there are no instances of this in the diagram.
