Hint:

Famous lines often serve as identity markers: Dickens' Oliver Twist, Bacon's Of Studies, Emerson's Self-Reliance, and Orwell's 1984 are all classics tied to these well-known quotes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify each excerpt.
- (P) "Please, Sir, I want some more" is from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. $\Rightarrow$ (iii)
- (Q) "Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability" is from Francis Bacon's essay Of Studies. $\Rightarrow$ (iv)
- (R) "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string" is from Emerson's essay Self-Reliance. $\Rightarrow$ (i)
- (S) "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen" is the opening line of Orwell's 1984. $\Rightarrow$ (ii)

Step 2: Combine.
\[ (P)-(iii),\ (Q)-(iv),\ (R)-(i),\ (S)-(ii) \] \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A) is correct.}} \]
