Hence conclusion I does not follow. All boxes are cups (A) + All cups are mirrors (A) = All boxes are mirrors (A) → Conversion → Some mirrors are boxes (I). Hence, conclusion II follows. All chairs are cups (A) + All cups are mirrors (A) = All chairs are mirrors (A) → Conversion → Some mirrors are chairs (I). Hence, conclusion III also follows.
