List-I	List-II
(Sentences)	(Adverbs)
(A) Maria has the skill for learning languages ___________ fast.	(I) reasonably
(B) I am ___________ sorry. I didn't mean to push you.	(II) incredibly
(C) It's a ___________ cheap restaurant.	(III) surprisingly
(D) ___________ boys are more likely to be left-handed than girls.	(IV) terribly

(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)

(A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)

(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)

(A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1: (A)-(II) incredibly fast, (B)-(IV) terribly sorry, (C)-(I) reasonably cheap, (D)-(III) Surprisingly boys → All adverbs fit naturally and idiomatically with their sentences.

Option 2: (A)-(IV) terribly fast, (B)-(I) reasonably sorry, (C)-(II) incredibly cheap, (D)-(III) Surprisingly boys → "terribly fast" and "reasonably sorry" are awkward and unnatural expressions.

Option 3: (A)-(I) reasonably fast, (B)-(II) incredibly sorry, (C)-(IV) terribly cheap, (D)-(III) Surprisingly boys → "terribly cheap" sounds unnatural; "reasonably fast" lacks the emphasis needed.

Option 4: (A)-(I) reasonably fast, (B)-(III) surprisingly sorry, (C)-(II) incredibly cheap, (D)-(IV) Terribly boys → "Terribly boys" is grammatically incorrect; "surprisingly sorry" doesn't fit the apologetic context.

Hence, Option 1 → "Incredibly fast" emphasizes exceptional speed in language learning, "terribly sorry" is the standard idiomatic expression for sincere apology, "reasonably cheap" is the natural collocation meaning "fairly affordable," and "Surprisingly" correctly introduces the unexpected statistical fact about left-handedness → correct
