    Some boxes are photos (I) + Some photos are wires (I) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
    All wires are photos (I) + No photo is image (E) ⇒ No wire is an image (E) ⇒ Conversion ⇒No image is a wire (E) + Some wires are papers (I) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence conclusion IV does not follow.
