Courses of Action: I.The decision makers should go to the grass root levels. II.The decision makers should come from the poorer sections of the society.

II.The owner of the liquor shop should be asked to leave the town and open a shop elsewhere. III. The owner of the liquor shop should immediately be arrested and tried for criminal negligence.
Clearly, the owner of the shop should be punished for selling spurious liquor.

However, sending the liquor shop owner to another place may create a problem elsewhere also. So, II does not follow.

The statement asserts that the structure was originally a 'brilliant' one. So, there is no need of a new architectural design, as mentioned in I. Also, it is given that paucity of funds is responsible for the dilapidated condition of the structure. Thus, only III follows while II doesn't.
