Which of the following statements about. Quit India Movement of 1942 is/are correct? 1. The movement was massive in character. 2. One of the unique fentures of the movement was the participation of the communist at the local level defying the official stand of the Communist Party. 3. It was a completly non-violent movement. Select the correct answer using the code given below :

The Quit India Movement of 1942 was genuinely a massive anti-colonial struggle, involving hundreds of thousands of ordinary Indians across urban and rural landscapes. While the Communist Party of India (CPI) officially opposed the movement to support the British 'People's War' against Fascism after the USSR joined the Allies, many local-level communists and workers defied this official stand to participate in the struggle. Statement 3 is incorrect because the movement was not completely non-violent. Although Gandhi initially called for non-violent resistance, the arrest of top leaders led to spontaneous acts of sabotage, strikes, and violent clashes with the police and army. Gandhi himself had expressed a willingness to risk 'lawlessness' over the 'ordered anarchy' of British rule, and the movement saw the formation of parallel governments and revolutionary underground activities.
