For Kant, an analytic proposition is:
{ 1 } - a contradiction of a synthetic statement.
{ 2 } - one in which the concept of the predicate is not contained in the concept of the subject.
{ 3 } - not exemplified in the statement "the human is rational."
{ 4 } - exemplified in the statement "The book is red."
{ 5 } - one in which the idea of the predicate is not contained in the idea of the subject.

1 is correct!
For Kant, an analytic proposition is:
{ 1 } - a contradiction of a synthetic statement.
{ 2 } - one in which the concept of the predicate is not contained in the concept of the subject.
{ 3 } - not exemplified in the statement "the human is rational."
{ 4 } - exemplified in the statement "The book is red."
{ 5 } - one in which the idea of the predicate is not contained in the idea of the subject.
In an analytic statement, the concept of the predicate is contained in the concept of the subject. In a synthetic statement, it is not.

That is the definition of a synthetic proposition or statement.

That is an example of an analytic proposition. Rationality is part of the concept or definition of human.

That is a synthetic statement. The concept of redness is not contained in the concept of book.
