In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Former RBI chief Raghuram Rajan has dissected the banking crisis in his recent analysis of non-performing assets (NPAs). He implies that cronyism is an important cause. Rajan says one reason for NPAs was over-optimism after the initial success of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure during 2006-08, leading to explosive expansion without due diligence. Second, slower GDP growth after 2008 meant that traffic and industrial demand were far less than projected. This was exacerbated by delays in land acquisition, and non-availability of gas and coal for power plants.  Courses of action: I. Rajan says he sent a list of prominent bank fraud cases to the PMO, but heard nothing more about it. This has led to accusations that cronyism has been the root cause of record NPAs. That is simply wrong.  II. Besides, bond buyers - mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies - will be decimated if bond defaults are as common as bank NPAs, and the human and economic impact may be just as bad.  III. Banks should not be forced to get into project finance at all, let alone on a grand scale. They grew for decades through working capital and retail lending. They had no ability to judge project costs or risks. But they jumped in, often on political orders or pressures.

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.
Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of the governed. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it not because the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion is passive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exercise actively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed through the press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entire community. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people to form correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the government through out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which train the minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It is necessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard for the feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall have the real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.
According to the passage, which of the following is needed from the people to have true or active public opinion? 1. Alertness
2. Determination
3. Intelligence
4. Raising their voice
