7 is correct!

Examples of metaphysical statements that Ayer would reject include:

    { 1 } - "Redness and other universals are independently existing entities."
    { 2 } - "Pegasus and all fictional beings are possible beings that lack actuality."
    { 3 } - "Each of us has an immaterial and immortal soul."
    { 4 } - "A material object is just a set of ideas in our mind or in God's mind."
    { 5 } - "Behind each material thing is an unobservable substance."
    { 6 } - "An immaterial God created the universe."
    { 7 } - All of these.

All these are "metaphysical" claims -- claims that are neither empirically verifiable (testable by sense experience) nor analytic (true by definition) -- and so are nonsensical according to Ayer.
