Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1: (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II) -> Incorrect matching. "Come up with" doesn't fit with receiving criticism, and other pairings are misaligned.

Option 2: (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV) -> Incorrect. "Come up with" doesn't mean changing one's thinking, and "come down" doesn't mean producing money.

Option 3: (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III) -> Incorrect. "Come up with" doesn't fit with changing opinion, though other matches are partially correct.

Option 4: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III) -> "Come up with" means to produce/find (money), "come down" means to be harsh on someone, "come around" means to eventually agree, and "come under" means to be subjected to (criticism).


Hence, Option 4: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III) -> The phrasal verbs perfectly match: "come up with the money" (produce/find), "come down harder on parents" (be strict), "come around to his way of thinking" (eventually agree), and "come under criticism" (be subjected to) -> correct
