Some Mirrors are Shadows (I) → Conversion → Some Shadows are Mirrors (I) + All Mirrors are Refractions (A) → Some Shadows are refractions (I) → Conversion → Some Refractions are Shadows (I). Hence conclusion II follows. Some Mirrors are Shadows (I) + No Shadow is a Reflection (E) → Some Mirrors are not Reflections (O). All Mirrors are Refractions (A) → Conversion → Some refractions are mirrors (I) + Some Mirrors are not Reflections (O) → Probable conclusion → All Refractions can never be Reflections (A). Hence conclusion III follows.
