A passage is given below followed by several conclusions which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passages. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage, decide upon its truth or falsity, and choose the conclusion that best supports the passage. 

Infrastructure can deliver major benefits in economic growth, poverty alleviation, and environmental sustainability but only when it provides services that respond to effective demand and does so efficiently. Service is the goal and the measure of development in infrastructure. Major investments have been made in infrastructure stocks, but in too many developing countries, these assets are not generating the quantity or the quality of services demanded. The cost of these waste- in foregone economic growth and lost opportunities for poverty reduction and environmental improvement- are high and unacceptable. The causes of the past poor performance and the source of improved performance, lie in the incentives facing providers. To ensure efficient, responsive delivery of infrastructure services, incentives need be changed through the application of three instruments- commercial management, competition and stakeholder involvement. The roles of government and the private sector must be transformed as well. Technological innovations and experiments with alternative ways of providing infrastructure can improve the system.

The passage if true, if best supported by which of the following conclusions?

1
Infrastructural development leads to the quantum of investment
2
The primary cause for the poor performance of infrastructure services is the incentive structure
3
The three instruments are not at par with each other therefore leading to infrastructural failure 
4
The role of government is extremely important for regulating the infrastructure. 
5
The system can only benefit from infrastructure being resourced at the proper places with corrective measures.
