List-I	List-II
(Sentences)	(Phrasal verbs)
---	---
(A) It is possible to ______ any job interview by just talking about your interests.	(I) get down
(B) It appears that the temperature will soon ______ to zero.	(II) get by
(C) In some organisations you never ______ the position for which you were hired.	(III) get back
(D) I have to ______ to London to complete my project that is now long overdue..	(IV) get beyond

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

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

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

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

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 → (A) get by, (B) get down, (C) get beyond, (D) get back - Correctly matches phrasal verbs: "get by" an interview (manage through it), temperature will "get down" to zero (decrease), never "get beyond" the position (progress past it), "get back" to London (return).

Option 2 → (A) get down, (B) get back, (C) get by, (D) get beyond - Incorrect matches that don't fit the sentence contexts logically.

Option 3 → (A) get down, (B) get by, (C) get beyond, (D) get back - "Get down an interview" doesn't make contextual sense; "temperature get by to zero" is grammatically incorrect.

Option 4 → (A) get back, (B) get beyond, (C) get down, (D) get by - "Get back an interview" is illogical; "temperature get beyond zero" doesn't fit the context of decreasing temperature.

Hence, Option 1 → The phrasal verbs align perfectly: "get by" means to manage through something, "get down" means to decrease/descend, "get beyond" means to progress past a point, and "get back" means to return. Each verb fits naturally with its sentence context and meaning → correct
