Question

Match List - I with List - II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|l|} \hline \text{List - I} & & \text{List - II} & \\ \hline A. & \text{Engraving} & I. & \text{A steel tool used in relief block cutting} \\ \hline B. & \text{Etching} & II. & \text{An image bitten into a metal plate by acid} \\ \hline C. & \text{Felt} & III. & \text{An image cut into metal plate (without use of acid)} \\ \hline D. & \text{Gouge} & IV. & \text{Used in an intaglio press between roller and printing paper} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 

• A. A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III
• B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I

Hint:

Remember these printmaking terms: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Engraving} &\rightarrow \text{Cuts Metal (No Acid)}, \text{Etching} &\rightarrow \text{Uses Acid}, \text{Felt} &\rightarrow \text{Padding in Intaglio Press}, \text{Gouge} &\rightarrow \text{Steel Cutting Tool}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Engrave--Cut, Etch--Acid, Felt--Press, Gouge--Tool.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Engraving and etching are intaglio printmaking techniques, while felt and gouges are important printing materials and tools.

Step 1: Match each term correctly. \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Engraving} &\rightarrow \text{An image cut into metal plate without acid}, \text{Etching} &\rightarrow \text{An image bitten into a metal plate by acid}, \text{Felt} &\rightarrow \text{Used in an intaglio press between roller and printing paper}, \text{Gouge} &\rightarrow \text{A steel tool used in relief block cutting}. \end{aligned} } \]

Step 2: Write the correct sequence. \[ \boxed{ A\text{-}III,\; B\text{-}II,\; C\text{-}IV,\; D\text{-}I } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(D)}} \]
