Explanation
In logical deduction, you must evaluate if each conclusion logically follows from the given statements. Here, the statements are: 'Some actors are dancers' and 'Some dancers are singers.' Conclusion I states 'Some actors are singers,' which cannot be deduced directly from the given statements as there is no direct connection between actors and singers. Therefore, it is incorrect. Conclusion II states 'Some singers are dancers,' which follows directly from the statement 'Some dancers are singers.' Therefore, Conclusion II is correct. Hence, the correct answer is 'Only II.'
