Question

Match the words in Column I with their synonyms in Column II.

Column I	Column II
(i) Lonely	(p) Verbatim
(ii) Literal	(q) Solitary
(iii) Lousy	(r) Deadly
(iv) Lethal	(s) Terrible

• A. (i)-(q); (ii)-(p); (iii)-(s); (iv)-(r)
• B. (i)-(q); (ii)-(s); (iii)-(r); (iv)-(p)
• C. (i)-(s); (ii)-(p); (iii)-(q); (iv)-(r)
• D. (i)-(r); (ii)-(s); (iii)-(p); (iv)-(q)

Hint:

Match each word to its closest meaning: Lonely = alone, Literal = exact wording, Lousy = bad, Lethal = deadly.
Find the option where all four pairs agree with these meanings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the question:
We get four words in Column I and four synonyms in Column II.
We need to match each word with the option that has the same meaning.
Once we know the meaning of each word, we can pick the option that lines up all four pairs correctly.

Step 2: Find the meaning of each word:
Lonely means feeling alone or without company, so its match is Solitary (q).
Literal means taking words in their exact, word for word sense, so its match is Verbatim (p).
Lousy means very poor or of bad quality, so its match is Terrible (s).
Lethal means capable of causing death, so its match is Deadly (r).

Step 3: Check option (A).
Option (A) gives (i)-(q); (ii)-(p); (iii)-(s); (iv)-(r).
This matches Lonely-Solitary, Literal-Verbatim, Lousy-Terrible, and Lethal-Deadly exactly as found in Step 2, so all four pairs line up.

Step 4: Check option (B).
Option (B) gives (i)-(q); (ii)-(s); (iii)-(r); (iv)-(p).
Here Literal is paired with Terrible and Lousy with Deadly, which do not match their real meanings, so this option is wrong.

Step 5: Check option (C).
Option (C) gives (i)-(s); (ii)-(p); (iii)-(q); (iv)-(r).
Here Lonely is paired with Terrible instead of Solitary, so this option is wrong.

Step 6: Check option (D).
Option (D) gives (i)-(r); (ii)-(s); (iii)-(p); (iv)-(q).
Here Lonely is paired with Deadly, which does not fit its meaning at all, so this option is wrong.

Final Answer:
Only option (A) matches every word with its correct synonym. \[ \boxed{\text{(A) (i)-(q); (ii)-(p); (iii)-(s); (iv)-(r)}} \]
