Why is middle term girls repeated in the answer?
Only conclusion 2 follows. According to the distributive method, the middle term should not be there in the answer.

Answer is A because according to rules all+all = all.

I don't see any logic of saying E correct. Because some is not mentioned anywhere and also since both the statements are of positive it cannot be negative.

Answer should Be A. Because Acc. to Statement All the actors are beautiful is correct. But the II statement (Some girls are actors) is not correct.

Second conclusion: Some girls are actors, that is wrong actually all girls are actor. So answer should be A only.

When it comes to S-P everything is clear. But the usage of the middle term in conclusion is somewhat new to me.
