Evaluate each of the following statements:

1 - Under random node removal, a random network will break into smaller components in a gradual, linear way.

2 - Scale-free networks, regardless of the degree distribution exponent, are robust against random failures, since their biggest component will only vanish when the fraction of removed nodes gets close to 1.

3 - The breakdown of a scale-free network is the same for random node removal and hub removal.

1. 1-False, 2-False, 3-False
2. 1-True, 2-True, 3-False
3. 1-False, 2-True, 3-False
4. 1-True, 2-True, 3-True
5. None of the above
