    B Either I or III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D I, III and IV follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No lessons are topics (E) + All topics are headings (A) = Some lessons are not headings (O), so further we can derive anything from it, hence conclusion I doesn’t follows and IV also doesn’t follows. Some headings are introductions.(I) + All introductions are conclusions.= Some headings are conclusions (A)  ⟹   conversion  ⟹  Some conclusions are headings. Hence conclusion II will follow but conclusion III doesn’t follows.  Alternate Method:
