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

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> Correctly matches Pseudonym with fictitious name (IV), Clairvoyance with intuitive perception (I), Intemperance with immoderate indulgence (II), and Paradigm with model/pattern (III).

Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches Clairvoyance with "model" and has (III) repeated for both B and D.

Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches Pseudonym with "model" and scrambles all other pairings incorrectly.

Option 4 -> Incorrectly matches Pseudonym with "model" and Paradigm with "fictitious name" - these are reversed.

Hence, Option 1: (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III) -> Pseudonym is indeed a pen name or fictitious name used by authors, Clairvoyance refers to supernatural perception or insight, Intemperance means excessive indulgence (especially in alcohol or food), and Paradigm is a standard model or pattern used as an example -> correct
