Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

(A) Divergent - (II) → "Divergent" refers to opinions, views, or paths that move away from each other or differ; commonly used for contrasting opinions or ideas (e.g., "divergent viewpoints").

(B) Discrete - (IV) → "Discrete" means individually separate and distinct, not continuous or overlapping (e.g., "discrete categories").

(C) Diverse - (III) → "Diverse" indicates variety and is used to describe different types of something within a group (e.g., "diverse population").

(D) Distinct - (I) → "Distinct" means clearly different and recognizable as separate, often emphasizing differences that might otherwise be confused due to superficial similarities (e.g., "two distinct concepts").


Hence, Option 2: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I) → This matching correctly pairs each word with its precise contextual meaning, distinguishing between these commonly confused terms → correct
