Thank you, Clive.
I would like to give you some information to get it clear.
The passage is on modern youth. The line I gave is a question.
Since I thought the writer is trying to identify the modern youth with something and not the vice versa.

Hi Suresh,
OK, then use #2.
As I said, you don't need to say 'the modern youth'.
I think you mean an 'instruction', not a 'question'.

Can't I call it a question?
(It was asked in a test.)
In the sense of "test item" it's a question, but not grammatically. In terms of grammar a question form of it might be something like this:
Can you identify two things that the writer associates with modern youth
