There is no negative statement. Thus the possibilities in 1) and 5) exist. Hence conclusion 1) and 5) both follow. All papers are pages (A) + Some pages are books (I) = A + I = No conclusion. Hence conclusion 2) does not follow. Some pages are books (I) + All books are copies (A) = I + A = I = Some pages are copies (I). Hence conclusion 3) follows. All papers are pages (A) conversion Some pages are papers (I). Hence conclusion 4) follows.

No cup is a glass (E) + Some glasses are bottles (I) = E + I = O* = Some bottles are not cups (O*). Hence conclusion 2) follows. Some bottles are not cups (O*) + All bottles are caps (A) = O* + A = No conclusion. Hence conclusion 3) does not follow. All bottles are caps (A) conversion Some caps are bottles (I). Hence conclusion 4) follows.
