Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Antonyms are words having opposite meanings.

Step 1: Find the antonym of “Chronic”. “Chronic” means long-lasting. Its opposite is: \[ \text{Temporary} \] Thus, \[ A \rightarrow IV \]

Step 2: Find the antonym of “Hereditary”. “Hereditary” means inherited genetically. Its opposite is: \[ \text{Acquired} \] Thus, \[ B \rightarrow III \]

Step 3: Find the antonym of “Philistine”. “Philistine” refers to an uncultured person. Its opposite is: \[ \text{Cultured} \] Thus, \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Find the antonym of “Gloomy”. “Gloomy” means sad or dark. Its opposite is: \[ \text{Radiant} \] Thus, \[ D \rightarrow I \]

Step 5: Write the final matching. \[ A-IV,\; B-III,\; C-II,\; D-I \]

Step 6: Conclusion. Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{A-IV,\; B-III,\; C-II,\; D-I} \]
