D. I, IV and VI follow

Explanation

Conclusions I and II
Step 1: In both these conclusions, the subject and the predicate, are dogs and .bricks. respectively. We see that .bricks. and .dogs appear is one statement only is statement A. Hence, only statement (A) is evant here.
Step II : Since only one statement is relevant, step II is not needed.
Step III: (i) We see that "Some dogs are bricks” follows from “Some bricks dogs" as immediate inference. Hence, conclusion I is accented But conclusion II does not follow from "Some bricks are dogs"
(ii) Conclusion I and II make a complementary pair because both have the same subject and the same predicate and they are an I-O pair But conclusion I has already been accepted, hence "either of them follows" is not a correct choice.
Conclusions III, IV, V, VI
Step I: In these conclusions, .kicks. and .dogs. appear as subject ant predicate. Now, in the given statements, dogs. is in statement A while .kicks. is in statement B. But there is no term common between A and B. This means that all the three statements are relevant to us.
Step II: We write the three statements in the following way:

Now, we have A+E+I=(A+E)+I=(E)+I=O` reversed. Hence. a valid conclusion would be .. some dogs are not kicks. conclusion IV is valid.
Step III (i) Conclusion IV has been accepted. So we need to perfomr the remaining steps on conclusions II(, V and VI only. We se that none of these three conclusions directly follows from the three given statements alone. hence step IIII (i) faisl.
Step III (iii) Conclusion III and IV make a complementary pair because one is type I and the other of type O, and the subject and the predicated of both are the same. But conclusion IV has already been accepted. Hence, we cannot choose either of these follows...
But conclusions V and VI (I-E pair, same subject and predicate) and none of these conclusions has been accepted. Hence, .. either V of VI follows. would be a correct choice.
