Question

In the question below, a passage is given followed by three statements which may or may not be suitable course(s) of action. Select the correct combination of statements that follow as a suitable course(s) of action. Passage: A recent audit by the National Safety Council has revealed that the number of "high-risk" bridge structures across the country has increased from 420 to 515. The report indicates that existing maintenance protocols and periodic inspections are failing to prevent structural decay. Furthermore, the audit highlights that federal funding allocated for bridge rehabilitation is often diverted to newer, high-visibility highway projects, leaving aging infrastructure in a state of neglect. Courses of Action: 1. Providing tax incentives to private logistics companies to encourage them to use lighter vehicles for transporting cargo across bridges. 2. Implementing a mandatory "maintenance-first" policy that prohibits the diversion of rehabilitation funds to new construction projects. 3. Establishing a dedicated rapid-response engineering task force to begin immediate structural reinforcement of all bridges identified as "high-risk."
