| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (Sentences) | (Phrasal verbs) |
| (A) We were all surprised to see Rahul because we had not expected him to _____ at the party. | (i) get across |
| (B) I am really exhausted. I think I'll _______. | (II) turn up |
| (C) In spite of being so lucid, sometimes he fails to clearly ______ his ideas. | (III) gets around |

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1: (A)-(II) turn up, (B)-(IV) turn in, (C)-(I) get across, (D)-(III) gets around -> Correct matching: "turn up" means arrive/appear, "turn in" means go to bed, "get across" means communicate ideas, "gets around" means spreads/circulates.
Option 2: (A)-(I) get across, (B)-(II) turn up, (C)-(III) gets around, (D)-(IV) turn in -> Incorrect: "get across at the party" and "turn up when exhausted" don't make contextual sense.
Option 3: (A)-(IV) turn in, (B)-(II) turn up, (C)-(I) get across, (D)-(III) gets around -> Incorrect: "turn in at the party" means submit/go to bed, not arrive unexpectedly; "turn up" doesn't mean rest when exhausted.
Option 4: (A)-(III) gets around, (B)-(I) get across, (C)-(IV) turn in, (D)-(II) turn up -> Incorrect: "gets around at the party" and "news turns up" are not idiomatic uses.
Hence, Option 1: (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III) -> Each phrasal verb perfectly fits its context: arriving unexpectedly (turn up), going to sleep (turn in), communicating effectively (get across), and news spreading (gets around) -> correct
