• C. 1-8, 2-6, 3-5, 4-7
• D. 1-5, 2-7, 3-6, 4-8

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the matching problem between the columns, we need to pair each item from column I with one from column II based on common idiomatic expressions.

Let's break down each item from column I and find its corresponding match in column II:

• 1. As deaf as: The common expression is "as deaf as a post".
• 2. As bitter as: The phrase "as bitter as gall" is used to describe extreme bitterness.
• 3. As unpredictable as: We often say "as unpredictable as the weather" because weather conditions can change rapidly.
• 4. As slippery as: The analogy "as slippery as an eel" highlights an entity that is difficult to hold onto.

Using these matches, we generate the correct pairing:

I	II
1-7	as deaf as a post
2-5	as bitter as gall
3-8	as unpredictable as the weather
4-6	as slippery as an eel

Thus, the correct answer combination is 1-7, 2-5, 3-8, 4-6.
