    In the question given below, a passage is given

    followed by three statements which may or may not be a suitable course(s) of action. Select the correct combination of statements that follow as a suitable course(s) of action.   Passage: A recent survey of the public library system in the district of Sonapur has revealed that while the total number of registered members has grown by 20%, the actual footfall of senior citizens has declined by nearly 50% over the last two years. Interviews with local elderly residents suggest that they find the digital-only cataloging system difficult to navigate and the seating areas uncomfortable for long periods. Additionally, many expressed concerns about the lack of easy-to-read, large-print editions of current bestsellers. Statements (Proposed Courses of Action): 1. The library should organize weekly "Digital Literacy" workshops specifically designed to help senior citizens use the new cataloging system. 2. The library should replace its digital catalog with the old manual card system to ensure everyone can find books easily. 3. The library should allocate a portion of its budget to purchase large-print books and install ergonomic seating in a dedicated "Quiet Zone."
    A Only 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 1 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement 1 is a suitable course of action. The passage identifies "difficulty navigating the digital catalog" as a specific barrier for senior citizens. A workshop directly addresses this lack of skill, providing a long-term solution that allows them to use modern library resources. Statement 2 is NOT a suitable course of action. While it addresses the difficulty of the digital system, reverting to an obsolete manual system is a regressive step that would likely hinder the library's overall efficiency and the 20% growth in other members. Logical "Course of Action" solutions should improve the situation without undoing progress. Statement 3 is a suitable course of action. This directly addresses two other complaints mentioned in the passage: "uncomfortable seating" and the "lack of large-print editions." By providing physical comfort and accessible reading material, the library directly incentivizes the return of the elderly demographic.
