3.A damaged flag can be burnt in private.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below;
Answer: C
Notes:
Statement 1 is correct: The flag can be as big or small as one wants but the ratio of the length to the height (width) of the National Flag shall be 3:2. So, the flag must always be a rectangle rather than a square or any other shape.
Statement 2 is incorrect: A person is forbidden by law to use the national flag as a portion of a costume or uniform.
Statement 3 is correct: The flag should not be stored in a way that might dirty or damage it. In case the flag is damaged, the Flag Code instructs the person not to cast it aside or treat it disrespectfully but destroy it as a whole in private, preferably by burning or by any method consistent with the dignity of the flag.
