Explanation:

Correct Answer is (b).Here, the statement talks about the government briefly coming to a stop.
I. Turned off refers to stop a piece of equipment working temporarily by pressing a button or by moving a switch. Here, the government cannot be turned off as if it were an equipment and thus, this is incorrect.
II. Shut down means to stop and is correct.
III. Shut out means to exclude someone from something and is irrelevant here.
Hence, option B is correct.
