Why is middle term girls repeated in the answer?

The answer is E.
Look at the Venn Diagram
Conclusion 1 - All the actors are beautiful.
We can see that the actor's circle is inside beautiful so conclusion 1 is true.
Conclusion 2 - Some girls are actors.
We can see that actors circle is inside girls circle.
This means two things.
1. Some girls are actors (actors circle is inside girls circle).
2. Some girls are not actors (space between the boundary of actors circle and boundary of girls circle. These girls are just beautiful and not actors).
Therefore Conclusion 2 is also true.
