Statement Analysis:
The statements given are:

2. All herbs are shrubs.
Conclusion I:
All shrubs are plants is not a possibility.
Conclusion II:
All plants are shrubs is not a possibility.
Explanation:
To evaluate the conclusions, let's analyze the statements:
Statement 1: Some herbs are not plants.
This means that there are herbs which do not fall under the category of plants. In other words, there are some herbs that are not classified as plants. This statement does not provide any direct information about whether all herbs are plants or not.
Statement 2: All herbs are shrubs.
This statement tells us that every herb is classified as a shrub. It implies that the category of herbs is a subset of the category of shrubs. However, it does not provide any information about whether all shrubs are herbs or not.
Evaluating Conclusion I:
Conclusion I states that "All shrubs are plants is not a possibility." In other words, it suggests that there is a possibility that all shrubs are plants. However, based on the given statements, we cannot make a definitive conclusion about whether all shrubs are plants or not. The statement "Some herbs are not plants" does not provide enough information to determine the relationship between shrubs and plants. Therefore, Conclusion I does not follow.
Evaluating Conclusion II:
Conclusion II states that "All plants are shrubs is not a possibility." This conclusion suggests that there is a possibility that all plants are shrubs. However, the given statements do not provide any direct information about the relationship between plants and shrubs. While it is stated that all herbs are shrubs, it does not imply that all shrubs are herbs or that all plants are shrubs. Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, only Conclusion I does not follow from the given statements. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - if only conclusion I follows.
