Correct Answer :
(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(1), (D)-(IV)
Solution :
The correct answer is option (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV).
Here is the step-by-step breakdown and logical explanation for matching each grammatical term in List - I with its corresponding example/characteristic in List - II:
1. (A) Modal matches with (II) "should be eliminated"
A modal verb (or modal auxiliary verb) is a helper verb that expresses necessity, possibility, permission, or ability. In the phrase "should be eliminated", the word "should" acts as the modal verb expressing recommendation or obligation. Therefore, (A) matches with (II).
2. (B) Adjective matches with (III) "sugary, caffeinated drinks"
An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. In the phrase "sugary, caffeinated drinks", the words "sugary" and "caffeinated" function as adjectives because they describe the quality and type of the noun "drinks". Therefore, (B) matches with (III).
3. (C) Adverb matches with (I) "to be eliminated completely"
An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, often indicating how, when, where, or to what extent something is done. In the phrase "to be eliminated completely", the word "completely" is an adverb modifying the participle/verb form "eliminated" by describing the degree of elimination. Therefore, (C) matches with (I).
4. (D) Passive voice matches with (IV) "electronics to be turned off"
Passive voice is a grammatical construction where the subject is the recipient of the action rather than the performer. In "electronics to be turned off", the action of turning off is performed on the "electronics" (passive receiver of the action), utilizing the passive infinitive form "to be turned off". Therefore, (D) matches with (IV).
Combining these individual matches, we get:
(A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
