      Only a few Year is Month (I) + Only a few Month is Week (I) → Probable conclusion → Some Year may be Week (I). Hence conclusion I follows. No Year is Day (E) → Conversion → No Day is Year (E) + Only a few Year is Month (I) → Some Month is not Day (O*)  → Probable conclusion → Some Month may be Day (I). Hence conclusion II does not follow. Only a few Year is Month (I) + Only a few Month is Week (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
