Let's analyze and match each quote from List I with its corresponding play in List II:

A) "You can’t eat the orange and throw the peel away- a man is not a piece of fruit." matches with III. Death of a Salesman
This famous quote is spoken by Willy Loman to his boss, Howard Wagner, in Arthur Miller's classic play Death of a Salesman. Willy uses this metaphor to protest how the company is discarding him in his old age after he has given them his best working years, emphasizing that human beings should not be treated as disposable commodities.

B) "Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it." matches with I. Man and Superman
This philosophical maxim is from George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman (specifically found in the "Maxims for Revolutionists" section appended to the play). Shaw argues that true freedom requires individuals to take full responsibility for their actions and choices, a burden that many people find intimidating and actively avoid.

C) "Nobody thinks, nobody cares. No beliefs, no convictions and no enthusiasm. Just another Sunday evening." matches with IV. Look Back in Anger
This quote is spoken by Jimmy Porter in John Osborne's play Look Back in Anger. Jimmy is expressing his frustration and disillusionment with the apathy, lack of conviction, and dull domesticity of mid-20th-century British society, which is epitomized by their routine Sunday evenings.

D) "Our home has been nothing but a playroom. I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I was papa’s doll-child; and here the children have been my dolls." matches with II. A Doll’s House
This is one of the most pivotal lines spoken by Nora Helmer in Henrik Ibsen's realistic drama A Doll's House. Nora utters this during her final confrontation with her husband Torvald, realizing that her entire life has been a series of performative, superficial roles dictated by men—first her father, and then her husband—rather than a life of an independent individual.
