Explanation:

- Statement (1) discusses the medium through which adult education is conducted. This sets the stage for education being provided in the villages.

- Statement (2) mentions that initially, there was skepticism from a certain group. This suggests that someone was doubtful about the intentions of the movement.

- Statement (3) refers to the group of people who needed to be persuaded to understand the benefits of the schools.

- Option 1: they implies a group of people which aligns well with a community or group setting discussed.

- Option 2: him implies persuading an individual, which doesn't fit well in the context of villagers as a group.

- Option 3: them fits perfectly as it refers to persuading the villagers collectively, which aligns with the statement's intent.

- Option 4: us would imply a collective of which the speaker is a part. This doesn't fit here since the speaker seems to be outside the group being persuaded.
