A possible slope failure is shown in the figure. Three soil samples are taken from different locations $\text{(I, II}$ and $\text{III)}$ of the potential failure plane. Which is the most appropriate shear strength test for each of the sample to identify the failure mechanism? Identify the correct combination from the following options: 

  1. Triaxial compression test 
  2. Triaxial extension test  
  3. Direct shear or shear box test 
  4. Vane shear test

  1. $\text{I-Q, II-R, III-P}$
  2. $\text{I-R, II-P, III-Q}$
  3. $\text{I-S, II-Q, III-R}$
  4. $\text{I-P, II-R, III-Q}$
