Match List I with List II

LIST I	LIST II
A When I found myself on my feet, I looked about me, and must confess I never beheld a more entertaining prospect. The country round appeared like a continued garden, and the inclosed fields, which were generally forty-foot square, resembled so many beds of flowers.	I A Description of a City Shower
B There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas, too frequent among us, sacrificing the poor innocent babes, I doubt, more to avoid the expense than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast.	II Gulliver’s Travels
D Sweeping from butchers’ stalls, dung, guts, and blood, Drowned puppies, stinking sprats, all drenched in mud, Dead cats, and turnip tops, come tumbling down the flood.	III A Modest Proposal
D Sweeping from butchers’ stalls, dung, guts, and blood, Drowned puppies, stinking sprats, all drenched in mud, Dead cats, and turnip tops, come tumbling down the flood.	IV A Tale of Tub

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Here is the step-by-step breakdown of the matches between the excerpts in List I and the works of Jonathan Swift in List II:

1. Excerpt A matches with II (Gulliver’s Travels):
"When I found myself on my feet, I looked about me, and must confess I never beheld a more entertaining prospect..."
This excerpt describes a landscape where the enclosed fields are "forty-foot square" and look like "beds of flowers." This miniature scale represents the perspective of Gulliver when he is in Lilliput, the land of tiny people, in Swift's famous satirical novel Gulliver's Travels (1726).

2. Excerpt B matches with III (A Modest Proposal):
"There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children..."
This passage mentions a "scheme" to address the poverty and high number of children in Ireland. This is the central premise of Swift's dark satirical essay A Modest Proposal (1729), in which the narrator mockingly suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to rich gentlemen and ladies.

3. Excerpt C matches with IV (A Tale of a Tub):
Although there is a typographical duplication in the question text (where the text of the third row is duplicated), the correct option associates item C with IV, which is Jonathan Swift's major satire A Tale of a Tub (1704).

4. Excerpt D matches with I (A Description of a City Shower):
"Sweeping from butchers’ stalls, dung, guts, and blood, / Drowned puppies, stinking sprats, all drenched in mud, / Dead cats, and turnip tops, come tumbling down the flood."
These lines form the famous concluding triplet of Swift's poem A Description of a City Shower (1710). The poem vividly describes the urban grime and debris of 18th-century London being swept away by a sudden downpour.
