Some paints are lacquers.
Thus, Conclusion I does not follow.
Conclusion II: No lacquer is fresco.
No fresco is lacquer, which is logically equivalent to "No lacquer is fresco."
Thus, Conclusion II logically follows.
Conclusion III: Some frescos are paints.
No paint is fresco, meaning there is no overlap between paints and frescos.
Thus, Conclusion III does not follow.
Conclusion IV: All lacquers are paints.
