I thought I was "getting it" regarding the opposition of statements; however, I'm stumped.
On page 80, question 42, the first sentence reads, "The A statement and the E statement are not subcontrary because, although they differ in quality, they do not differ in quantity.
I answered False thinking the reason they are not subcontrary is because they are universal, not particular.
I wondered if the answer key is wrong, but I know it's probably something I'm not seeing.
Please help!
Thank you very much.

Yes. You are correct. That is an error in the key. It should be false. We will correct that in the next edition. Good catch.
