Explanation
★AAA-1 is Barbara and is perfectly valid, so statement 3 is true. Statement 1 is wrong because AAA-2 fails through the undistributed middle, not exclusive premises. Statement 2 is wrong because EIO is valid in every figure including figure three. Statement 4 is wrong because EAA-1 draws an affirmative conclusion from a negative premise. So only statement 3 is true.
