Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

List-I	List-II
(Phrasal Verbs)	(Meanings)
(A) Run through	(I) To escape or flee
(B) Rule out	(II) To meet someone unexpectedly
(C) Run away	(III) To go over quickly or briefly
(D) Run into	(IV) To eliminate a possibility

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

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

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

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

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches "run through" with "meet unexpectedly" and misaligns other pairs.

Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches "run through" with "eliminate a possibility" and reverses multiple meanings.

Option 3 -> Correctly matches all phrasal verbs: run through = go over briefly, rule out = eliminate possibility, run away = escape/flee, run into = meet unexpectedly.

Option 4 -> Incorrectly matches "run through" with "eliminate possibility" and "run away" with "go over briefly".

Hence, Option 3: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II) -> This accurately pairs each phrasal verb with its standard meaning: "run through" means to review something quickly, "rule out" means to exclude a possibility, "run away" means to escape or flee from something, and "run into" means to encounter someone by chance -> correct
