    Solution

    No telescope is a screw (E) + All screws are rockets (A) → Some rockets are not telescopes (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow. All microscopes are telescopes (A) + No telescope is a screw (E) → No microscope is a screw (E) + All screws are rockets (A) → Some rockets are not microscope (O*). Hence conclusion II follows.
