Correct Answer :

Option A

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

Solution :

The correct option is (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III).

Let us analyze and complete each sentence step-by-step by matching the sentences in List-I with the appropriate adverbs from List-II to establish the correct logic:

Step 1: Analyze Sentence (A)
Sentence: "I thought the restaurant would be expensive but it was ________ affordable."
Here, the speaker contrasts "expensive" with "affordable". We need an adverb that modifies "affordable" to indicate a moderate, sensible, or fair degree. Among the options, "reasonably" (II) fits perfectly, meaning "fairly" or "moderately affordable."
Hence, (A) matches with (II).

Step 2: Analyze Sentence (B)
Sentence: "It was a serious accident. But the car was ________ damaged."
The conjunction "But" introduces a contrast. Even though the accident was "serious" (which would normally result in major damage), the car itself sustained very little or almost no damage. The adverb "hardly" (IV) means "scarcely" or "barely." Using it indicates that the car was barely damaged.
Hence, (B) matches with (IV).

Step 3: Analyze Sentence (C)
Sentence: "The meeting was a disaster as it was ________ organized."
The meeting is described as a "disaster" because of how it was organized. To explain this negative outcome, we need an adverb that conveys poor organization. The adverb "badly" (I) means "poorly" or "inadequately," which logically explains why the meeting was a disaster.
Hence, (C) matches with (I).

Step 4: Analyze Sentence (D)
Sentence: "Mira is gifted; she has the ability to learn any language ________."
Since Mira is described as "gifted," she must have the ability to learn languages with great speed or ease. The adverb "quickly" (III) fits this context perfectly, indicating rapid learning ability.
Hence, (D) matches with (III).

Conclusion:
Combining all the matches, we get:
(A) - (II)
(B) - (IV)
(C) - (I)
(D) - (III)
This corresponds exactly to the first option.
