Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. Severing emotional and physical bonds puts one on the road to freedom and peace of mind.Structural Breakdown: The final thesis presents an action (severing bonds) that unlocks a tripartite destination: freedom, happiness, and peace of mind.
