Answer
Correct Answer: Only II and III follow
Explanation
Introduction / Context:We track an existential subset through a universal inclusion and also read the original overlap symmetrically.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- ∃ (Shop ∩ Room).
- Room ⊆ Kitchen.
Concept / Approach:The shops that are rooms are certainly kitchens, so II holds. The original premise “Some shops are rooms” is equivalent to “Some rooms are shops,” so III also holds. I and IV are unjustified universals.
Final Answer:Only II and III follow.
