    Solution

    All grapes are apples (A) + Some apples are oranges (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All grapes are apples (A) → Conversion → Some apples are grapes (I). Hence conclusion II follows. All grapes are apples (A) + Some apples are oranges (I) → Probable conclusion → Some grapes may be oranges (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
