    1 member took literature but not mathematics.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can draw a Venn diagram for the given question.

    In a fraternity total number of members = 32

    Number of members who took mathematics M = 18

    Number of members who took both mathematics and literature (M∩L) = 5

    And number of members who took neither mathematics nor literature = 8

    Therefore, number of members who took literature but not mathematics

    = 32 - [ (18 + 5) + 8]

    = 32 - [23 + 8]

    = 32 - 31

    = 1

    Therefore, 1 member took literature but not mathematics.
