Conclusions:
(I) Some papers are clothes → True (As Some papers are tables and All tables are clothes so, Some papers are clothes is true)
(II) Some ropes are clothes → True (As Some ropes are tables and All tables are clothes so, Some ropes are clothes is true)
(III) No cloth is a rope → False (As Some ropes are tables and All tables are clothes so, No cloth is a rope is false)
(IV) No paper is a rope → False (it is possible but not definite)
∴ Here, conclusions I and II are true.
Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusions I, II follow".
