    D I, III and IV follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some bonds are agreements (I) + All agreements are collaborations (A) = Some bonds are collaborations (I), hence conclusion I doesn’t follows. No contract is a bond (E) + Some bonds are agreements (I) = Some agreements are not contracts, hence conclusion II will follow. All agreements are collaborations (A) + Some collaborations are obligations (I) = No conclusion, hence conclusion III doesn’t follows.  No contract is a bond. (E) ⟹  Some bonds are not contracts. (O) Hence conclusion IV will follow.
