Solution

The correct option is D Only conclusions I, III and IV follow

Clearly, III is the converse of the first premise and so it holds.
All papers are buildings, All buildings are rains.
Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must also be universal and affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that `All papers are rains'. IV is the converse of this conclusion and so it holds.
All dogs are papers. All papers are buildings.
Clearly, it follows that 'All dogs are buildings'.
All dogs are buildings. All buildings are rains.
Clearly, it follows that 'All dogs are rains'. So, conclusion I follows.
Thus, I, III and IV follow from the given premises.
