Some papers are not books (O) + All books are pencils (A) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follows but it will make a complementary pair. Hence either conclusion I or III follows. All pens are papers (A) + Some papers are not books (I) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
