    { 1 } - predicable of a subject.
    { 2 } - unchangeable in a primary substance.
    { 3 } - the defining class of a subject.
    { 4 } - the genus of a primary substance.
    { 5 } - present in a subject.

1 is wrong. Please try again.


An accident for Aristotle is that which is:

"Predicable" means able to be said about, and the name or definition of an accident cannot literally be said about a substance. For example, "Harry is tall" does not mean that the characteristic of tallness is literally identified with Harry but only that it is present in him.

2 is wrong. Please try again.


An accident for Aristotle is that which is:

    { 1 } - predicable of a subject.
    { 2 } - unchangeable in a primary substance.
    { 3 } - the defining class of a subject.
    { 4 } - the genus of a primary substance.
    { 5 } - present in a subject.

Secondary substance is unchangeable in a primary substance, for example, "rational" in "Harry is rational."

3 is wrong. Please try again.


An accident for Aristotle is that which is:

    { 1 } - predicable of a subject.
    { 2 } - unchangeable in a primary substance.
    { 3 } - the defining class of a subject.
    { 4 } - the genus of a primary substance.
    { 5 } - present in a subject.

That would be secondary substance, for example "human" in "Harry is human."

4 is wrong. Please try again.


An accident for Aristotle is that which is:

    { 1 } - predicable of a subject.
    { 2 } - unchangeable in a primary substance.
    { 3 } - the defining class of a subject.
    { 4 } - the genus of a primary substance.
    { 5 } - present in a subject.

The genus of a primary substance is a secondary substance, one of the defining classes of a primary substance, for example "animal" in "Harry is an animal."

5 is correct!


An accident for Aristotle is that which is:

    { 1 } - predicable of a subject.
    { 2 } - unchangeable in a primary substance.
    { 3 } - the defining class of a subject.
    { 4 } - the genus of a primary substance.
    { 5 } - present in a subject.

For example, Harry, a primary substance, subject, or individual, exists in himself, while tallness, an accident, exists in or is present in him.
