Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Statement (I) says that Kalanick’s resignation was influenced by a damning report from shareholders about management culture. The passage states shareholders released a damning report on the firm's management culture, but it does not explicitly say shareholders ordered Kalanick to step down. Hence, this statement is somewhat out of context or inaccurately framed.

2. Statement (II) aligns well with the passage, which mentions Kalanick stepped down after scandals raised doubts about his leadership, including a video of him reprimanding a driver and the shareholders’ report being unfavorable.

3. Statement (III) is consistent with the passage, which highlights Kalanick’s role in building Uber into the world’s most valuable startup over the past decade.

Therefore, only Statement (I) is not fully in line with the passage.

**Answer:** (a) Only I
