If an argument has four terms, would it be possible (in two dimensions) to create a four-circle Venn diagram, such that every possible relationship among the four terms has its own distinct region?
A) Yes, because it is always possible to add another term by adding another circle.
B) Yes, but four is the maximum number of terms that could be represented like this in two dimensions.
C) Yes, but such an argument would not be a syllogism.
D) No, although a fourth term could be added if it were represented by a different shape.
E) No, because there is no possible way (with any shape) to add all possible relationships to a fourth term.
