Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct.

Statement 2 is also correct. Subhash Chandra Bose and other socialists argued that the Second World War was an imperialist one since both sides were fighting for gaining or defending colonial territories. They argued that advantage should be taken of the situation to wrest freedom by immediately starting a civil disobedience movement.

Statement 3 is incorrect. Nehru thought that the war was the result of inner contradictions of capitalism. Therefore, he advocated no Indian participation till India was free. At the same time, he was against taking advantage of the difficult situation faced by the British.
