Complete the sentences given in List-I with the appropriate words from List-II:

List-I List-II
(Sentences) (Words)
(A) people often get deceived. (I) creditable
(B) She gave a first performance at the theatre. (II) conscious
(C) My made me confess my guilt. (III) credulous
(D) We soon became of the presence of an intruder. (IV) conscience

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

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

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

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

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1: (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV) -> Incorrect matching: "creditable people" doesn't fit sentence A, and "conscious" doesn't work for sentence B.

Option 2: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II) -> Correct matching: "Credulous people" (gullible) get deceived, "creditable performance" (praiseworthy), "conscience" (moral sense) causes guilt, "conscious of" (aware of) an intruder.

Option 3: (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III) -> Incorrect: "creditable people" and "conscious performance" don't make sense contextually.

Option 4: (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) -> Incorrect: "conscience performance" and "creditable made me confess" are grammatically and contextually wrong.

Hence, Option 2: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II) -> This correctly pairs credulous (easily deceived), creditable (worthy of praise), conscience (moral sense), and conscious (aware) with their respective sentences -> correct
