(B) Verse (II) comparison between two objects having something common
(C) Simile (III) a long speech given by a person in a play
(D) Monologue (IV) a long narrative/poem describing an important action

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

List-I (Literary Terms)	List-II (Meanings)
(A) Epic	(I) written in a regular rhythmic pattern
(B) Verse	(II) comparison between two objects having something common
(C) Simile	(III) a long speech given by a person in a play
(D) Monologue	(IV) a long narrative/poem describing an important action

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

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

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

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

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches Epic with rhythmic pattern and scrambles all other definitions.

Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches Epic with comparison (simile's definition) and misaligns remaining terms.

Option 3 -> Epic (IV): long narrative/poem of heroic action; Verse (I): regular rhythmic pattern; Simile (II): comparison between objects; Monologue (III): long speech in a play - all correctly matched.

Option 4 -> Incorrectly matches Epic with long speech (monologue's definition) and misaligns Monologue.

Hence, Option 3 -> This correctly identifies Epic as a long narrative poem describing important actions (like Homer's Iliad), Verse as poetry with regular rhythm, Simile as a comparative device using "like" or "as", and Monologue as an extended speech by one character in drama -> correct
