Sure, I'd be happy to help with these questions.

1. The second sentence ("An old man is buying a sculpture.") is not a logical conclusion based on the first sentence ("An older man finishes the last touch up on his sculpture."). It's possible that the same man crafted multiple sculptures, but there's no indication in the first sentence that he's currently buying one. Answer: No, you cannot conclude that.

2. The man in the premise is standing on a rock, not holding a sign. The fact that he has spray paint on him suggests he might be an artist, but it's impossible to tell if he's holding a sign just from that description. Therefore, the second sentence is not entailed by the first sentence. Answer: No, the hypothesis is not entailed by the premise.

3. This is a well-known proverb in English, so I'll explain it for you. It means you can't do two things simultaneously if they're mutually exclusive - you can't step across a river and swim at the same time, for example. The question is simply asking if this proverb is true. I'll provide a neutral answer with no evaluation: The proverb's meaning is clear, but it's a simplification. Depending on the context, there could be ways to technically cross a river and swim at the same time, such as if you use a boat as a bridge. However, in most cases, the image of stepping across rocks and swimming in water would not be possible. So, in most cases, the proverb holds true. So, the answer would be "Mostly, but not always true."
