Explanation:
To determine whether the conclusions follow from the given statements, we need to analyze each conclusion individually.
Conclusion I: No window is table.
- The first statement states that no table is a fruit, but it does not provide any information about the relationship between windows and tables.

Conclusion II: No chair is fruit.
- The second statement states that no fruit is a window, which means that all fruits are mutually exclusive from windows.

- Combining these two statements, we can conclude that no chair is a fruit.
- Conclusion II follows.
Conclusion III: No chair is table.
- The first statement states that no table is a fruit, but it does not provide any information about the relationship between tables and chairs.
- The third statement states that all windows are chairs, but it does not provide any information about the relationship between chairs and tables.
- Therefore, we cannot conclude that no chair is a table based on the given statements.
- Conclusion III does not follow.
Conclusion IV: All chairs are windows.
- The third statement explicitly states that all windows are chairs.
- Therefore, we can conclude that all chairs are windows.
