Well, (1) is obviously correct (4) is obviously not. But I could not decide whether I should pick 2 or 3. In accordance with venn diagram - both seemed to be correct.(white could either "touch" green and, thus, blue) or touch only blue - maybe I did something wrong) initially I thought
so I had to make AAI-4 scheme which showed that (2) was a right option.
