    Only a few Spades are Hearts (I) + Some Bricks are Spades (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Packet are Cards (I) + All Cards are Spades (A) → Some Packet are Spades (I) → Conversion → Some Spades are Packet (I). Hence conclusion II follows. All Cards are Spades (A) + Only a few Spades are Hearts (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
