Explanation
★Items 1 and 9 are not related to NPA, so the answer is 1 and 9.
★NPA explicitly rejected value neutrality and called for a value-committed administration.
★It also rejected the strict politics-administration dichotomy of the classical era.
★Social equity, change orientation and the anti-positivist stance are core NPA themes.
★The first Minnowbrook Conference launched NPA, and the welfare state was its concern.
★Treating the citizen as a client also fits the service ethos of NPA.
★So value neutrality and the politics-administration dichotomy are the ideas NPA discarded.
