• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Extension planning: Programme defines goals; Plan of work details tasks; Calendar sets timeline; Planning builds the blueprint.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The concepts of extension programme planning are matched with their definitions as follows:
- (A) Plan of work (IV - Outline of activities so arranged as to enable efficient execution of the entire programme): The plan of work specifies the detailed activities, resources, personnel, and methods needed to execute an extension programme, organized to optimize efficiency and achieve objectives.
- (B) Calendar of work (III - Plan of work arranged chronologically): This is a time-bound schedule that arranges the plan of work’s activities in a chronological sequence, ensuring timely implementation of tasks.
- (C) Extension programme (I - Statement of situation, objectives, problems, and solutions): An extension programme is a strategic document that outlines the current situation, sets clear objectives, identifies key problems, and proposes actionable solutions to address community or agricultural needs.
- (D) Planning (II - Process of preparing a blueprint of actions to attain stated objectives within a time frame): Planning is the systematic process of designing a framework that includes goal-setting, action steps, and timelines to achieve the programme’s objectives.
The correct pairing is (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II), making option (2) correct.

Answer 2

Definition-first matching:
Instead of matching term to definition one by one in list order, first identify the definition mentioning activities arranged for efficient execution, which uniquely describes the operational document called the Plan of work, matching (A) to item (IV). The definition mentioning activities arranged chronologically is the defining feature of a Calendar of work, matching (B) to item (III). The definition mentioning situation, objectives, problems and solutions describes the overall Extension programme document, matching (C) to item (I), and the definition mentioning a blueprint of actions within a time frame describes the general process of Planning, matching (D) to item (II). This gives (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II), option (2).
