    All Glasses are Bowls (A) + [Some Cups are Bowls (I) → Conversion] → Some Bowls are Cups (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Bottles are Glasses (A) + All Glasses are Bowls (A) → All Bottles are Bowls (A). Hence conclusion II follows. All Bottles are Glasses (A) + All Glasses are Bowls (A) → All Bottles are Bowls (A) + [Some Cups are Bowls (I) → Conversion] → Some Bowls are Cups (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
