Explanation
★Neo-Marxism centres on emancipation of the masses and evolved in Germany, so the answer is 3 and 4 only.
★Neo-Marxism is associated above all with the Frankfurt School founded in Germany in 1923.
★It shifted Marxism from economics toward culture, consciousness and human emancipation.
★Thinkers like Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse sought to free people from domination and false needs.
★Statement 2 is wrong because neo-Marxism broadened beyond a strict focus on the proletariat alone.
★It looked to students, intellectuals and marginalised groups as agents of change.
★Thus neo-Marxism is a German born, emancipation centred reworking of classical Marxism.
