Based on that we will check conclusions:

I. Some Paper are White → It’s possible but not definite, hence false.

II. All Green are Red → It’s possible but not definite, hence false.

III. All Red being White is a possibility → Possibility is true as shown below.

IV. Some Paper being Green is a possibility → Possibility is true as shown below.
