List-IList-II
(Sentences)(Prepositions)
(A) He is waiting for me______the road(I) through
(B) The message was conveyed to me ______my friend(II) across
(C) He is going to get married______the month of September(III) on
(D) I shall meet him _______the day of the examination(IV) in

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> Incorrect match for (C) and (D): "in the month" and "on the day" are the proper prepositions, not "on the month" and "in the day".

Option 2 -> Incorrect match for (A) and (B): "through the road" and "on my friend" don't make grammatical sense in these contexts.

Option 3 -> Incorrect match for (A) and (B): "through the road" suggests passing through it, not waiting on the other side; "across my friend" is grammatically incorrect.

Option 4 -> Correct matches: "across the road" (other side), "through my friend" (via/by means of), "in the month of September" (months use 'in'), "on the day" (specific days use 'on').

Hence, Option 4: (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III) -> This follows standard English preposition rules: "across" for position on the opposite side, "through" for medium/agency, "in" for months, and "on" for specific days -> correct
