In programing, you can always rewrite that first rule as "all" and "some" must compose over set union. So, "all (A ∪ B) == all A && all B", and "some (A ∪ B) == some A || some B".

That lets you discover the answer for the empty set.

Which leads to a funny fact that if all elements of the set S satisfy proposition P it doesn’t necessarily imply that some elements of the set S satisfy proposition P.
