Let us verify and understand the matching between the post-colonial writers in List-I and their respective texts in List-II step-by-step:
1. Ngugi wa Thiong’o matched with III. The Language of Languages:
Ngugi wa Thiong’o is a renowned Kenyan writer and academic who has written extensively about the politics of language in African literature. "The Language of Languages" is a translation of his essays/conversations about translation, mother tongues, and language decolonization, aligning with his famous work in linguistic decolonization. Thus, A matches with III.
2. Aimé Césaire matched with IV. Discourse on Colonialism:
Aimé Césaire was a French poet, author, and politician from Martinique, and one of the founders of the Négritude movement. His seminal essay, Discourse on Colonialism (originally published as Discours sur le colonialisme in 1950), is a classic post-colonial text that analyzes the destructive effects of colonialism on both the colonizer and the colonized. Thus, B matches with IV.
3. Frantz Fanon matched with I. Toward the African Revolution:
Frantz Fanon was an influential Martinican psychiatrist, philosopher, and revolutionary. Toward the African Revolution (originally published as Pour la révolution africaine) is a posthumous collection of his essays, articles, and letters that document his political evolution and support for the Algerian war of independence and African liberation. Thus, C matches with I.
4. Chinua Achebe matched with II. There Was a Country:
Chinua Achebe was a giant of African literature, best known for his novel Things Fall Apart. There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra (2012) is one of his final works, presenting his personal memoir and historical account of the Nigerian civil war (Biafran war). Thus, D matches with II.
Combining these individual matches, we get:
A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II.
