Conclusions:

I. Some crows are pigeons → True (because all pigeons are crows and so some crows are also pigeons)

II. Some pigeons are birds → False (because all pigeons are crows and no crow is a bird so no pigeon is also a bird)

III. No pigeon is a bird → True (because all pigeons are crows and no crow is a bird so no pigeon is also a bird)

Hence, “Only conclusions I and III follow”.
