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

If it is given in question that all the actor are girls means we cannot think that some girls may be actor because this is a logical question and here we are using some trick and we are not bother about logic, if we are bothered about logic then a conclusion is wrong all actors cannot be beautiful and if it is then in what respect, and if here we are using some trick then b option is wrong because it contain some inspite the question contains all.

Both the sentence is universal affirmation hence conclusion must be universal affirmation type and middle term should not be in conclusion that's why first conclusion is true.
While in the second conclusion All the actors are girls but it is clearly not saying that all the girls are actors. It may be some actors and some not that's why conclusion second also follow.
While in the second conclusion All the actors are girls but it is clearly not saying that all the girls are actors. It may be some actors and some not that's why conclusion second also follow.
