Correct Answer :

Option A

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

Solution :

The correct option is: (A) – (I), (B) – (II), (C) – (III), (D) – (IV)

To determine the correct matching between the sentences in List-I and the verbs in List-II, we analyze the semantic context and grammatical structure of each sentence:

1. Sentence (A) with Verb (I):
Sentence (A) is: "They _____ that I go with them."
Matching this with (I) recommended gives: "They recommended that I go with them."
Here, "recommended" acts as a verb of suggestion or recommendation followed by a subjunctive clause ("that I go..."), which is grammatically correct and conveys a polite suggestion to accompany them.

2. Sentence (B) with Verb (II):
Sentence (B) is: "The doctor _____ that I rest for two days."
Matching this with (II) demanded gives: "The doctor demanded that I rest for two days."
The verb "demanded" expresses an authoritative requirement, which fits the context of a doctor prescribing or ordering a patient to take mandatory rest for recovery.

3. Sentence (C) with Verb (III):
Sentence (C) is: "The chairperson _____ that plans be changed."
Matching this with (III) insisted gives: "The chairperson insisted that plans be changed."
The verb "insisted" expresses a firm demand or stand taken by someone in authority, fitting the role of a "chairperson" who exerts influence to ensure certain actions (like changing plans) are taken.

4. Sentence (D) with Verb (IV):
Sentence (D) is: "The landlord _____ that I pay the rent by Tuesday latest."
Matching this with (IV) proposed gives: "The landlord proposed that I pay the rent by Tuesday latest."
The verb "proposed" suggests a path of action or schedule, which is appropriate for a landlord suggesting or putting forward a specific payment arrangement.

Therefore, the correct sequential mapping is:
• (A) matches with (I)
• (B) matches with (II)
• (C) matches with (III)
• (D) matches with (IV)
