Explanation:

1, 2 and 3

"During an earthquake, P waves are the first to arrive at the surface." - This statement is correct. P-waves (primary or compressional waves) are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to reach the Earth's surface.

"S waves give valuable information about the interior of the Earth." - This statement is correct. S-waves (secondary or shear waves) do provide valuable information about the Earth's interior, particularly about the nature of the material through which they pass. Unlike P-waves, S-waves cannot travel through liquids, so their behavior helps scientists understand the state of the Earth's interior.

"P-waves travel parallel to the direction of the wave." - This statement is correct. P-waves are compressional waves, and the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave.
