      Some Kiwis are Bananas (I) + All Bananas are Pears (A) → Some Kiwis are Pears (I). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Kiwis are Bananas (I) + All Bananas are Pears (A) → Some Kiwis are Pears (I) → Conversion → Some Pears are Kiwis (I). Hence conclusion II follows. All Apples are Bananas (A) + All Bananas are Pears (A) → All Apples are Pears (A) → Probable conclusion → All Pears can be Apples (A). Hence conclusion III follows.
