In each question below is given a statement followed by three courses of action numbered I, II and III. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the three given suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing.
Statement: Poverty is increasing because the people, who are deciding how to tackle it, know absolutely nothing about the poor.
Courses of Action:
I. The decision makers should go to the grass root levels.

III. A new set of decision makers should replace the existing one.
The statement indirectly asserts that the decision makers can work effectively to eliminate poverty, only if they get to know the basic problems afflicting the poor people through interaction with them. So, only I follows.
The failure of a majority of students hints at there being lackenings on the part of teaching faculty, which need to be pointed out and removed by constant efforts. So, none of the given courses of action follows.
