    Only a few Lipsticks is Lotions → All Lotions may be Lipsticks (A). Hence conclusion I follows. No Lipsticks is Cream (E) → Conversion → No Cream is Lipsticks (E) + Only a few Lipsticks is Lotions (I) → Some Lotions are not Creams (O*) + Only a few Lotions is Bands (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow but conclusion III follows.
