Step-by-step explanation:

Analytic Statement: a statement the truth value of which is determined by the meanings of its terms;e.g., "All squares are four-sided." It is sometimes said (e.g. by Kant), when a statement is in simple subject-predicate form, that an analytic statement is one in which the predicate (e.g., the property of being four-sided) is-"contained within" the subject (the concept of a square).

Examples of analytic sentences include: Frozen water is ice. Bachelors are unmarried men.
