Question
In the question below are given two or three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II.

Based on the given statements:
- All roads are poles.
- No pole is a house.
We can draw the following conclusions:
I. Some roads are houses. - This conclusion does not follow from the statements. Since all roads are poles and no pole is a house, it is impossible for some roads to be houses.
II. Some houses are poles. - This conclusion also does not follow from the statements. Since no pole is a house, it is impossible for some houses to be poles.
Therefore, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows from the given statements.
