I. All Hospital can be Spa → the possibility stands true (as there is no direct relationship between hospital and spa)

II. Some Restaurant are Tower → there is no definite relation between Restaurant and Tower, hence it is false.

III. No Restaurant is Tower → there is no definite relation between Restaurant and Tower, hence it is false.

IV. Some Spa is definitely Hotel → It’s true. (As Some Hotel is Tower and All Tower is Spa so, some spa is definitely hotel)

Here conclusion II and III are complementary pairs.

Thus Conclusion I, either II or III and IV follow.
