No desks are tables.
Some desks are curtains.
Conclusions : I. No Boxes are desks.
II. Some Boxes are desks.
Ill. Some curtains are not boxes
IV. Some curtains are boxes.

2. Invalid with same logic as 1. 

3. We know that no table is a desk, making no box a desk. Hence, the curtains which are desks cannot be boxes.

4. We can conclude 3 but we don't have much information to say whether some curtains are boxes.
