Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

(A) "One should not _____ the orders" → needs defy (resist/disobey)

(B) "People would often _____ the ruling kings" → needs deify (worship as a god) - in medieval times, kings were often worshipped

(C) "worried by the _____ anti-management sentiments" → needs current (existing/present)

(D) "fond of _____ buns and deserts" → needs currant (dried fruit used in baking)


Option 1 → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV) → Incorrect matching (currant doesn't fit sentence A)

Option 2 → (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV) → Incorrect (currant doesn't fit sentence B)

Option 3 → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) → Correct matching: defy for A, deify for B, current for C, currant for D

Option 4 → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III) → Incorrect (currant doesn't fit sentence A)


Hence, Option 3: (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II) → This correctly pairs "defy" with resisting orders, "deify" with worshipping kings, "current" with present sentiments, and "currant" with fruit buns → correct
