The word BECKON means to signal, invite, or attract someone or something.Sentence I is correct as it describes the café's lights inviting or attracting travelers.Sentence II is also correct since ruins can metaphorically beckon people by intriguing them.Sentence III is incorrect because "beckon" is not followed by 'at'"; it should be "He beckoned his friend to come closer."Thus, the correct answer is (1) Only I & II.
