    Only a few Columns is Proportions → All Proportions may be Columns (A). Hence conclusion I follows. No Column is Volume (E) → Conversion → No Volume is Column (E) + Only a few Columns is Proportions (I) → Some Proportions are not Volumes (O*) + Only a few Proportions is Partitions (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow but conclusion III follows.
