    Solution

    No steel is aluminium (E) + Some aluminium are copper (I) → Some copper are not steel (O) + All steel are metal (A) → All copper may be metal (A). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion III does not follow. Only a few aluminium are copper → Some aluminium are copper (I) and Some aluminium are nor copper (O). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
