Explanation

The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922) was characterized by specific methods of non-violent resistance. Mahatma Gandhi proposed the surrender of titles and honors awarded by the British government [1]. The program explicitly included the refusal to attend government durbars, official functions, and semi-official ceremonies [1]. Furthermore, the movement emphasized the boycott of foreign goods, which was executed through protest rallies, picketing of shops, and the promotion of Swadeshi [2]. However, participation in elections was not a feature; instead, the movement called for a total boycott of legislative council elections [3]. While some leaders later formed the Swaraj Party to enter councils, the official Gandhian program during the 1920-1922 phase mandated withdrawal from such institutions. Therefore, statements 1, 3, and 4 are correct, while statement 2 is incorrect.
