    Only few Monthly are Daily → Some Monthly are Daily (I) and Some Monthly are not Daily (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Quarterly are Yearly (A) + Some Yearly are Monthly (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. Some Yearly are Monthly (I) + Some Monthly are Daily (I) → Probable conclusion → Some Yearly are Daily (I) + No Daily is a Weekly (E) → Some Yearly are not Weekly (O) → Probable conclusion → Some Yearly Weekly be Weekly (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
