The correct three are 1, 2, and 3.

- Taught people to read: The Bureau established schools and helped create a large system of primary and normal schools for freedpeople.
- Taught women to sew: It provided vocational training (including sewing and domestic skills) to help formerly enslaved people gain jobs and self-sufficiency.
- Issued rations: The Bureau distributed food, clothing, and medical care to refugees and destitute freedpeople.

4 (issued land) is incorrect as a general Bureau policy — most land was not permanently redistributed, and efforts to provide land were limited and largely undone.
