Matching Words to Parts of Speech

We will now match each word from List II to its corresponding Part of Speech in List I, based on the provided correct answer code.

List I Category List II Word Explanation
A. Noun 4. Knowledge 'Knowledge' is a concept or an abstract thing, fitting the definition of a noun.

D. Adjective 1. Knowing 'Knowing' can function as a present participle used adjectivally, describing someone or something, like in 'a knowing glance'.

Explanation of the Code

The question asks to match List I (A, B, C, D) with List II (using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4) and select the correct code. Based on the matching derived from the correct answer:

  • A (Noun) matches with 4 (Knowledge).
  • B (Verb) matches with 3 (Knowingly).
  • C (Adverb) matches with 2 (Know).
  • D (Adjective) matches with 1 (Knowing).

Arranging these matches in the order A, B, C, D gives the code 4 3 2 1.

Therefore, the correct option corresponds to the code 4 3 2 1.
