Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct Answer :
A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
Solution :
The correct answer is A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III.
To understand why this is the correct matching, let us look at each author and their corresponding text step-by-step:
1. A. Paul Ehrlich matches with IV. The Population Bomb (published in 1968, though often associated with subsequent editions/reprints like the 1972 edition noted in the list). This influential work warned about the dangers of overpopulation and resource depletion.
2. B. Lawrence Buell matches with I. The Environmental Imagination (1995). This is a seminal work in the field of ecocriticism, analyzing how literature responds to and represents the natural world.
3. C. Nevil Shute matches with II. On the Beach (1957). This post-apocalyptic novel depicts the aftermath of a nuclear war and is a classic of environmental and apocalyptic literature.
4. D. Rachel Carson matches with III. Silent Spring (1962). This landmark book documented the environmental harms caused by the indiscriminate use of pesticides, particularly DDT, and is widely credited with helping launch the modern environmental movement.
Combining these matches, we get:
A ⇒ IV
B ⇒ I
C ⇒ II
D ⇒ III
Thus, the correct option is A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III.
