Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this problem, we need to match the phrases in List-I with their correct meanings in List-II based on their definitions and usage. Let's analyze each term:

1. Carp Diem: This Latin phrase means "seize the day." It implies making the most of the present moment without worrying too much about the future. It's often associated with living life to the fullest. Therefore, it matches with IV - Seize the day.
2. Faux Pas: This is a term borrowed from French and refers to an embarrassing or tactless act or remark in a social setting. Hence, it aligns with II - An embarrassing blunder.
3. Magnum Opus: This Latin term means "great work" and is used to describe the most important or significant work of an artist, writer, or composer. Thus, it matches with III - The most important work of.
4. Prima Facie: This phrase is Latin for "at first appearance" or "on the face of it." In legal terms, it refers to a case or evidence that is considered true unless proven otherwise. This aligns with I - Accepted as such until proven.

Given these explanations, the correct option is:

• (A)-(IV); (B)-(II); (C)-(III); (D)-(I)
